Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

3 large garlic cloves -- minced

1 pound potatoes (about 4 medium) -- peeled and diced

2 cups vegetable stock or canned broth

3/4 cup bean liquid or water

1 cup home-cooked lima beans, or one 15-ounce

can -- drained, cooking or can liquid saved

1 cup whole or low-fat milk

1 medium green bell pepper -- coarsely chopped

1 cup fresh corn kernals or thawed frozen corn

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried

salt and freshly ground black pepper to

taste

 

Heat oil in large stockpot, and saute onion and garlic until onion is

translucent. Stir in the potatoes..

Add stock and bean liquid, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook,

covered, 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are half-done.

Meanwhile, place lima beans and milk in a blender and puree until smooth. Add

to the pot.

Add the bell pepper, corn (if fresh), and tarragon. Simmer, covered, 6 to 10

minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. If usine thawed frozen corn, add

during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat. Process 3 cups of this

soup in a blender or food processor until smooth. (This will create a textural

variation in the soup, part smooth and part coarse.) Return to the pot. Season

to taste with salt and pepper. Reheat gently before serving.

Yield: 2 entree or 4 first-course servings
