Directions

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 food processor, return to the soup pot, and gently reheat, if necessary.
If you prefer a creamy soup, stir the skim milk or buttermilk into the soup and gently reheat.
Serve garnished with roasted red pepper or pimiento strips.
