Lima Bean Soup

And the day wouldn't be complete without a delicious bowl of soup.

It's called "Lima Bean, Zucchini, and Spinach Soup" from a cookbook called Seriously Simple.

Some of you may be thinking, "Lima beans. Ew..."

But look at how fast I finished it.

It's tasty.

Lima Bean Soup

2 tbs olive oil

2 leeks, sliced

2 yellow squash, sliced

2 cups frozen lima beans

6 cups water

2 bay leaves

1 tbs parsley

1 tbs oregano

1 tbs salt

2 cups fresh spinach

1 tbs lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot. Add the leeks and saute for a few minutes. Add the squash and saute for a few more minutes. Add the lima beans, water, and herbs. Bring to a boil. Then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the veggies are soft.

Add the spinach and cover for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper.

Use your fantastic immersion blender to puree.
