Method
1
Rinse the dried lima beans thoroughly under cold water and soak them in a large bowl of water for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften them and reduce cooking time.
2
Drain the soaked beans and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
3
Add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the hot oil, stirring frequently until the onions become translucent and softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the drained lima beans, quartered potatoes, crushed bay leaf, and vegetarian chicken soup mix or vegetable bouillon cube to the pot and stir to combine.

Sprinkle the paprika over the ingredients and stir well to distribute the spice evenly throughout the mixture.
7
Pour the 4 cups of hot water into the pot, stirring gently to ensure all ingredients are submerged. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
8
Increase the heat to high and bring the cholent to a boil, then immediately reduce to low heat.
