This week at the Bloggy Buffet we are sharing our soup recipes. While it may be hot as blazes out there right now, it won’t be long now until there is a chill in the air and the leaves start falling, That is when I get in the mood to make soup. The soup I am sharing with you today is my version of Lima Bean Soup. For many years I just made beans. Dried beans, water, salt and pepper, with a chunk of salt pork to season them. Then one day I decided to make that same old pot of dried beans have some personality. This is the result of that inspiration:
1 bag dried baby lima beans
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
4 fresh tomatoes, skinned and diced
8 oz frozen shoe peg corn
1 smoked ham hock, skin removed, and meat cut up in chunks
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to tastePlace dried beans in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes. Meanwhile, place all other ingredients in crock pot and turn on high. Pour hot beans and water into crock pot and cook for several hours. Serve hot with corn bread or biscuits.
