Instant Pot Lima Beans and Ham

dry baby lima beans

yellow onion (about 1 medium onion)

garlic

chicken broth

water

black pepper

bay leaf

parsley,

Rinse and sort beans in a colander, removing and discarding any debris.

Place beans and remaining ingredients (except parsley) in the insert of your Instant Pot (I used an 8 quart) and stir well to combine.

Place the lid on and lock.  Steam release knob should be set on “sealing”.

Cook on manual setting (high pressure) for 25 minutes.  Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.

Carefully remove lid and stir.  Remove and discard bay leaf.  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Just made this with smoked turkey and baby Lima beans. I always double the bay leaves in any recipe. Used 1 smoked turkey neck and one smoked drumstick. Didn’t add any salt since the chicken stock and smoked turkey has enough. Also added thyme and Herb de Provence (since I like marjoram in any soup and we were all out!!) Followed the timing exactly. As I pulled out the bones from the turkey, I see it thickening up without mashing up any beans.  Just told my husband if he doesn’t want to eat any now, it may be ALL GONE. That’s JUST how good it is.  Going to save this recipe for the rest of the winter.

Amy, I fixed this recipe tonight minus the bay leaf and they were absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing! I’m from Carteret Co. and haven’t had the opportunity to meet you but hope to share stories some day!

Hi Amy.  I made it today, and since I had bacon and ham, I added both to the IP.  It was so delicious that I am planning to make it again, and again...etc... Thank you for the recipe.

Hi Amy.  I lost count of how many times I have cooked this dish on my Instant Pot.  This is our favorite meal because we can use the lima beans from our garden.  This year, my garden gave us lots of lima beans, so I frozen them and I now I can use them. This recipe is so simple, but yet delicious! Thank you!!!

My mom made ham and lima bean soup..I always loved her simple recipe! She always soaked her beans, but I'm not good at planning so the instant pot method works best for me. She passed away 5 years ago, and didn't leave her recipe, but lately I've been craving her soup. I'm currently making this recipe in my instant pot, but 25 minutes have passed, plus the 10 natural release and the beans were still hard. I put it back on for another 10, and eagerly waiting for it to finish! The broth tasted perfect so I know this will be amazing. For whatever reason, we always added ketchup to the soup mixture before eating it. Sounds weird I know but it creates an amazing flavor (remember the movie ratatouille)? You never know until you add one flavor to another. Thank you blonde cook

I did this in a big pressure cooker.  I stuck exactly to the recipe, although I soaked the Lima beans for 8 hours and added some red pepper flakes.  I will save the recipe for the future.  Very tasty. 
 Thanks

I made this and it's fantastic. A really deep, rich flavor with so few ingredients. Tossed in a bit of Benton's bacon, too, and that smokey flavor really made it!
