Dreaming of Soup weather
This mid-July day with a temperature in the mid nineties I can't help but find myself wistfully thinking of September and it's cool breezes. My summer mind is plagued with the urge to make soup. The smoked turkey drumsticks call out for Lima beans to change them into a satisfying thick meal, and I can not resist.

You may feel free to keep this recipe in reserve until September or make it now to urge on the change in the weather.
Ingredients:
Smoked large Turkey Drumstick or wing
3 cups large dried Lima beans
3 cloves garlic
One large can tomato sauce
2 stalks Celery
2 carrots
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Process:
Fill a large pot ½ way up (perhaps 3 quarts) with water
Rinse the Lima beans in a colander and place in the pot with the heat on high
Cut the carrots and celery into chunks of about ¾ “ in length
Put the Turkey into the pot
Boil the contents for about 1 1/2 hrs and add the garlic, Olive Oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
