INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 ham bone with some meat
    • 💧 8 cups water, plus more as needed
    • 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans

  • Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 🥬 4 stalks celery, diced
    • 🧅 1 onion, diced
    • ½ pound diced cooked ham
    • 🥕 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

STEPS

1

Combine ham bone and 8 cups water in a large saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until remaining meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Remove and discard bone. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a bowl.

2

Place lima beans in a large pot; pour in enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; remove pot from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans.

3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cooked ham bone meat, lima beans, and diced ham. Reduce heat and simmer, adding additional water as needed, until soup is thickened to desired consistency, about 90 minutes.

4

Stir carrots, salt, pepper, and parsley into the soup. Let simmer until carrots are soft, about 30 minutes more.
