BakerAunt I use leftover dry lima beans,the meat that I've seasoned the beans is usually ham or ham hocks,if it's hocks I pick only the lean out for the soup.I use a little chicken stock with chopped up onions,celery,tomatoes and carrots.Boil that till the vegetables are done then throw in leftover lima beans
and if I have cooked rice I add that and let this simmer just a little,seasonings is salt,pepper and a little garlic.We love lima beans and this is what I make with the leftovers.I only had about 2 cups of beans left but after everything is put in it makes a small pot.It's just me and my husband so I've cut way back in the amount of food I use to cook.
