Instructions

Cook beans according to package directions, or cheat like I did and use a box of frozen Lima beans or canned beans
Saute bacon over medium high heat in a Dutch oven, until fat is rendered
Add kielbasa and onion, saute until onion is translucent
Add garlic, cook for 2 more minutes
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and marjoram
Simmer 30 – 60 minutes to blend flavors
(Optional) Sprinkle the Wondra flour over the soup and stir to blend. This will thicken the broth a little bit and seems tone down the tartness of the tomatoes a bit. Wondra is pre-cooked flour, so it blends easily without clumping and doesn’t have a raw flour taste.
