Tonight's Dinner and Tomorrow's Lunch 11-19-2013

I'm awfully busy with school this week, so I need quick easy to prepare dishes.  Tonight's dinner is a lima bean soup. 

I love lima beans but I'm not sure how awesome they are gonna be in soup form

Here is the ingredient list

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
2 cups frozen lima beans
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. sliced chives

Small list, seems simple enough right? 

Here is how to cook it. 

• In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat, add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft.
• Add the broth, water, and lima beans and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
• Pour the mixture into a food processor or blender and purée the soup. Add additional water for a thinner consistency.
• Return the soup to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and heat over moderate heat until hot.
• Garnish with the chives and serve.

First thing, I am not going to puree the entire soup, I want to actually have some bite in my soups, and I think leaving some whole beans in there will be neat, and still give us an awesome green color that not really seen in soups outside of a split pea. 

There is a part of me that thinks a holy trinity (Carrots, onions and Bell Peppers) would go fantastic in this.
