Like succotash too but usually just put a couple bags of the dried green baby limas in the crockpot with some ham and a diced onion, a good bit of salt, some pepper, and about a tablespoon of baking soda. Helps with the aftereffects. :) Cover all with water and let it slow cook all day while I’m at work. A big pan of cornbread, and you are good to go!

Works for great northerns too!

I’ve never added baking soda. Does it leave a taste?

When I make cornbread to go with soup, I almost always make it Tex-Mex (with diced cheddar cheese, creamed corn and green chilis.)

I’ve made bean soup with great northerns, but never baby limas. I’m going to try it! Thanks, GG!
