Repost! From two years ago, this is one of my favorite dishes from this sub: Smoky butter bean soup, 265 Calories. Super easy to make and delicious – carrots, celery, onion, parsley, liquid smoke, parsley, and bouillon.

I’ve made this several times. It is delicious and worth resharing. Reposted with permission, instructions from the original:

>Butter beans are buttery and really tasty. Even if you typically don’t like beans I think you will like these. This is the brand I used: [https://www.amazon.com/Camellia-Large-Lima-Beans-Pounds/dp/B00XUYNVV8](https://www.amazon.com/Camellia-Large-Lima-Beans-Pounds/dp/B00XUYNVV8). Butter beans are just mature lima beans but their taste is different from regular limas that you eat in succotash. Even if you don’t like lima beans you should give butter beans a try.

>1.5 cups for the pictured serving. I cook my butter beans in a big batch and use some for bean salad, so that’s why they are pre-cooked in the recipe. But you could easily find instructions for cooking everything together at once like in an instapot.

>In a large pot I cook the diced carrot, celery, and onion. Take some of the butter beans and puree them with water then add to pot. Add more water to get to the consistency you want. Add the bouillon and liquid smoke to taste. Add the rest of the beans. I added parsley last, but it’s up to you when you add it.
