Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the okra is very tender, about 30 minutes. 2. Puree the soup in a blender, food processor, or food mill. Return the soup to the Dutch oven, and stir in the ham and lime juice. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat just until the ham is heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
