Preparation

Step 1

Add all ingredients to large pot and bring to boil. Give it a stir, and let simmer for about 3 hours.

When finished, you should have a slow cooked tomato sauce taste, and the lima beans should be very soft, almost falling apart in your mouth.
The tomato sauce thickens from the starch the beans give out, making the “soup” ultra satisfying and hearty.
