The first time I had this was at a gathering, and the entire pot was devoured in less than 20 minutes.

ingredients

  • 1 pkg 15 Bean Soup Mix (Hambeen brand; discard seasoning)
  • 1 pkg Large Lima Beans (16 oz)
  • 2 large onions, chopped small
  • 1 full bulb garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2 14 oz cans tomatoes
  • 10 Serrano Peppers, cored, seeds removed, finely diced
  • 3 Poblano Peppers, cored, seeds removed, finely diced
  • 1 tsp Basil
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Sage
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 1 Tbs Pepper
  • 4 Tbs lemon Juice

directions

  • 1

    Wash and sort beans. Cover with water and 1 Tbs Salt, soak overnight.

  • 2

    Drain and rinse beans. Add 10 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 hours. Keep stirring.

  • 3

    Add all ingredients (except lemon juice) to soup pot, and simmer while stirring occasionally for 1/2 hour. When the soup is fully cooked, you can roughly puree about a third of the soup. Add lemon juice and stir before serving. Very best topped with a dollop of sour cream.

notes

Wear gloves when working with these peppers.
