      Title: Wes 'n' Kathy's Authentic Original Lima Bean Soup
 Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Pork, Chilies
      Yield: 6 Servings

     12 oz Dried (large) lima beans or
           - butterbeans
      1 md Onion; chopped
      2    Celery ribs; including tops
      1 lg Carrot; diced
      4 c  Ham stock
    1/4 lb Diced ham
      2 c  Water
      1    Chili pequin; crushed
      2 cl Garlic; minced
           Salt & black pepper

  We invented this yesterday, and are still munching on it. I wanted a
  plain plate of butterbeans for my birthday, but Kathy can never do
  anything 1/2 way.

  Place all ingredients except salt and pepper in a pot. Bring to a
  boil, reduce heat. Cover pot and simmer until beans are VERY tender (3
  to 4 hours). Salt & pepper to taste.

  Serve this with bread & butter, garlic bread, or dinner rolls. Makes a
  complete meal.

  Enjoy!
