Recipe(tried): Lima Bean Soup

Soups
Lima Bean Soup
This is from the Farm Journal Country Cookbook and is one my mother copied for me that she says is very close to her own version. Her's is excellent.

2 cups dried beans (Navy or lima)
1 1/2 qts water
ham bone or ham ends or bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 1/2- 2 cups canned tomatoes
1 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup cubed potatoes-this is optional
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Combine water and beans in a large kettle, boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 1 hour. Simmer beans, without draining, until tender-about 2 hrs. Add more water as necessary. In the meantime, simmer ham in water to cover. Skim fat from broth and add beans and remaining ingredients. Simmer until all vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
