Weird Soup

I started by soaking the lima beans overnight. Cooking them for an hour and a half the next day does soften them up quite nicely.

They didn’t soften completely though. So the puree had a weird texture to it.

I found the texture uneatable. My daughter and husband ate the soup though.

I just couldn’t get past the texture.

Did my husband and daughter like it - sort of. We didn’t save the leftovers, so. . . .
