Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dried baby lima beans or other dried white beans, picked over
2 ham hocks
2/3 cup wheat berries
8 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
2 medium onions, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried rosemary, crumbled
1 head escarole (about 1 lb), chopped coarse
3 garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

In a bowl soak beans in water to cover by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak (procedure follows) and drain.
In a heavy kettle (at least 5 quarts) simmer ham hocks and wheat berries in water and broth, covered, 1 hour. Add drained beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and skim froth. Add onions, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and rosemary and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
Transfer ham hocks with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Discard fat and bones and chop meat.
In a blender or food processor purée 3 cups soup. Stir purée into soup with chopped meat and escarole and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Soup may be made 4 days ahead (cool uncovered before chilling covered.)
In a large saucepan combine dried beans, picked over and rinsed, with triple, their volume of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook beans, uncovered, over moderate heat 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let beans soak 1 hour.
