Oldways Hearty Succotash Soup

Succotash is a traditional Native American dish consisting primarily of corn and lima beans.  Other ingredients are often added like tomatoes and peppers, or okra and sweet potatoes in the South.  This succotash-inspired soup adds carrots, potatoes, and vegetable broth, thickening it into a creamy stew perfect for fall and winter slurping.  Pair with a green salad for a beautiful lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

8 yukon gold potatoes, chopped into bite-sized cubes 

4 cups water

4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 

6 medium carrots, halved and sliced thin

4 cups frozen lima beans 

4 cups frozen corn

2 teaspoons rubbed sage

2 teaspoons dried dill, basil, rosemary, and other herbs of your choice 

Sea salt 

Instructions

  1. In a deep pot, heat olive oil on medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic, sautéeing until golden (about 3 minutes).  You can either leave the onions and garlic chopped as is, if you’d like a creamier broth, blend them with 1 cup of vegetable broth in a blender and return to pot. 
  2. Add the potatoes, water and vegetable broth.  Bring the liquid to a boil and cook potatoes on medium-high for 10 minutes.  Add the carrots, lima beans, corn, and herbs of your choice to the pot, lower heat, and simmer for 15 more minutes, or until potatoes and lima beans are tender.  
  3. Salt to taste and serve hot.
