Read Reviews (5)

"Can be just a meal in itself, or served along with other accompaniments like coleslaw or your favorite salad." — RICKSR

Directions

Place the lima beans in a large pot, and pour in the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook 15 minutes. Mix the potatoes, corn, tomato, onion, and celery into the pot, and continue cooking 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the milk. Stir into the pot, and mix in the ham. Continue cooking until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

This is very quick to make. I didn't have any corn and I only had frozen lima beans - but it all worked. It's comfort food - tastes great. I cut the recipe in half and it was more than enough for the two of us with some leftovers for lunch.

This was pretty good. I didn't know what to make of it because it is definately not a soup but it does have a stew like consitency. I put it in bowls and served with biscuits and my family really liked it.

Good as is, but better with more seasonings. I added 1/2 t each dry marjoram and tarragon and 1 t minced garlic at the end and they perked up the flavor. I might add more of all three next time or add a couple teaspoons of dry dill instead. Frozen limas worked well; I eliminated the initial 15 minutes of simmering of the limas by themselves.

A great meal for a chilly, rainy day. I serve this with cornbread. My husband loves those big lima beans! I start with dried lima beans, soak and cook them, then follow recipe. Very flexible, add more seasonings if you wish, or enjoy the simple goodness of this homey recipe!
