Catalan Potato Lima Soup

My family liked this, it was from one of the Moosewood cookbooks by Mollie Katzen, a great source for tasty recipes!

2c chopped onions
2 tsp olive oil
4c sliced or cubed potatoes
2c cooked fresh or frozen green lima beans
4c water or vegetable stock (I used 1/2 chicken and 1/2 vegetable broth)
1/4c chopped cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1c skim milk or buttermilk (or I have used plain soy milk)

Garnish - roasted red pepper strips or pimento strips
I garnished it with crumbled turkey bacon and croutons for my family.

Saute the onions in the oil for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the potatoes, lima beans, and water or stock and bring to a boil. Add the cilantro and salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Puree in batches in a blender or food processor, return to the soup pot, and gently reheat. if you prefer a creamy soup, stir in the milk or soy milk into the soup and gently reheat. garnish and serve.
