This is a good n' smooth soup and so very healthy! I used canned butter beans which worked just great. Made by a fellow Unruly/ZWT6

I've been sneaking samples of this ever since it started cooking. What a wonderful tasting soup! I used canned butter beans instead of cooking my own. Very, very good soup! Made for ZWT #6 - 2010
