Lima Bean Soup




What a crazy day yesterday was!  It started as a cleaning the house day / watching the kiddo’s day,  turning into me helping my friend get to ER, serve seven people for dinner and go to a late night movie.  One might think that these were just normal events of a Friday. Actually, I do too, but I did not get a nap until sitting in the theater which was not why I paid $ 8.50.  After finally getting a little snooze, I achieved enjoying the new James Bond film.

Put in a crockpot: 1 bag of lima beans, 2 bay leaves, 2 beef bouillon cubes and salt. Add required amount of water suggested on the bag of beans.  Cook on high for 4 hours.  

Add:  2 large chopped carrots and chopped celery. Cook on high 4 more hours. 

Add: 1 large potato cut very small. 
Take out bay leaves.

Use stab mixer in the crockpot chopping up all beans and vegetables.

In a frying pan place: olive oil, 1 large chopped onion and garlic.  Sauté until tender.  Add: small slices of 1 green apple, sauté until tender.  Add: Curry (about a tablespoon)  and 1/8 cup of flour, brown.

Combine frying pan contents with crockpot, chop with stab mixer.

When serving add a small amount fenugreek to each bowl of soup.  

Enjoy.
