Kosher Romanian Bean Soup (Vegetarian)

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	320g / 11oz	Dried lima beans
8 cups	1896ml	Cold water
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Onion - roughly chopped (large)
1		Carrot - peeled, quartered
2		Garlic cloves - crushed
1		Knorr vegetable bouillon cube
2 tablespoons	30ml	Corn oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Onion - finely diced (medium)
2 teaspoons	10ml	Kosher salt - (optional)
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Soak lima beans in cold water overnight. Drain the lima beans and rinse in several changes of water to float away as many loosened shells as possible.

Place beans in crockpot with 8 cups fresh water, the chopped onion, carrot, garlic and bouillon cube. Cover tightly and cook 18 to 24 hours, until beans are very tender. Remove from heat and let cool a little.

In the meantime, heat the oil in a skillet and saute the finely diced onion until it is very brown.

Ladle a small amount of soup at a time into blender or bowl of a food processor and puree until all soup is pureed. Return to pot and stir in browned onions. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
