Use a large saucepan. Turn the heat to a medium setting. Spray the cooking spray onto the pan. You can cover the beans and store them in the refrigerator, but for no more than a few days. Use one half of a finely chopped onion. Put the chopped onion into the heated saucepan. Stir them occasionally. Saute the onions until they become soft and turn translucent. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour 1 cups (354.9 mL) of chicken broth into the saucepan. You can use any type of chicken broth that you'd like. Bring the broth to a broil. Pour one 16-ounce (170.1 g) bag of lima beans into the saucepan. You don't need to sort, rinse, and soak them since they have been frozen. Add water to the pan. You should only add enough water to cover the beans. Bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat to a low setting once the broth begins boiling. Then, cover the saucepan. Allow the beans to simmer for thirty minutes until they are tender.
