Soup with lima beans and prunes

Soup with lima beans and prunes

Category: First meal

Ingredients
meat (vegetable) broth	2-2.5 liters
bulb onions	1 PC.
carrot	1 PC.
cherry tomatoes red	5 pieces.
garlic	2 teeth
boiled lima beans	glass 300 ml.
prunes	5-6 pcs.
potatoes	1-2 pcs.
fresh greens (dried)	1-2 tbsp. l.
salt, spices	taste

Cooking method

• Boil the beans in water until tender. Lima beans are large, cooked longer than usual beans. I boiled beans in a pressure cooker.
• Boil the meat broth. You can also cook soup in vegetable broth, you get a lean version of the soup.
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add onions, carrots, garlic (crush), spices, cherry tomatoes and stew a little so that the vegetables begin to fry, the liquid evaporates. Carrots, beets, onions, sweet peppers, parsley root, celery, tomatoes are best added to soups browned, so they are tastier. The coloring matter - carotene, which in the human body turns into vitamin A, is poorly absorbed when raw carrots are consumed. When browning, the digestibility of carotene, which has passed into fat, increases significantly; in addition, the fat, turning orange, yellow or red, gives the soups a beautiful color.
• 
• Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a saucepan, add the boiled beans, potatoes in pieces, prunes in pieces, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and bring until tender over low heat.
• A few minutes before cooking, add herbs, salt, taste and bring to full readiness.
• Pour the finished soup into plates, sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve.

Yes, of course you can! It's just that Lima is a kind of beans, very large, it takes longer to cook. Cooked beans separately in a pressure cooker.

Cook for health, delicious soup

Tatyana, I understand that the recipe was presented a long time ago, but suddenly remember or it was cooked not so long ago))) from prunes it turns out not too sweet?

Well no. It all depends on your taste and love, the perception of prunes in dishes You can put less than mine and evaluate the taste, how much it suits you in general.
I often add prunes to dishes: to rabbit, lamb - it goes very well. The forum has my recipes, take a look

Everything is learned in comparison, try it! We really like

thanks, I will try))

Tanya, thank you so much for the recipe, it's a very tasty soup !!! On my own I added leeks to frying and bell peppers at the end of cooking, literally boiled for a minute. My husband took a sample right away, so he smelled delicious, I think when the infusion will be even tastier.

Lena, it is very good! Cook often!

Tatiana, thanks for the recipe. It's just not entirely clear how many beans to take, 300ml in the recipe. How to measure it? How much should I take not boiled beans?

Glass 250 ml. usual, it means a little more than one glass will be boiled beans.
This is not essential, since the amount of beans depends on the thickness of the soup, on our desire.
