Lima beans are often called butter beans because of their soft buttery texture. They can be found in bulk at your local food co-op or health food store. Be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours, to aid in digestibility. Feel free to add any vegetables to the soup in place of the yams and peas such as carrots, potatoes, kale, or zucchini.
Preparation Note
        Beans need to be soaked for 12 to 24 hours before cooking.
