Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans

  • 2 quarts water

  • 1 ham bone with meat

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place lima beans in a large bowl and cover with several inches of water; soak 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Bring water, ham bone, and onion to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until onion is tender, about 1 hour.

  3. Drain and rinse lima beans and add to the pot with the ham bone. Add brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, dry mustard, and salt. Simmer, covered, about 2 hours. Uncover and continue simmering soup until beans are tender, about 30 minutes more.
