I used the "designer" lima beans I had (labeled Christmas limas) and
potato water to make the following.

Saute vegetables briefly in stock in soup pot; add tomatoes, water, and
cooked lima beans. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer for 10 minutes if
beans are fully tender, or until beans are completely cooked. When beans
are tender, add pasta for 10 minutes, then spinach for 5 minutes, covered.
Remove bay leaves before serving. Yield: About 89 cups. Freezes well.
