To make Lima Bean Borscht, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup dried lima beans
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sour cream and fresh dill, for serving

To start, soak the lima beans in water overnight. Drain and rinse the beans, then set aside. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, and thyme, and stir to combine. Add the lima beans, vegetable broth, and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
Once the soup is cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill. This soup is best served hot, and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
