Mmmmm, mmmm! So very easy to make and so yummy! Perfect soup for this cloudy, chilly day. I cut the recipe in half easily and used canned crushed tomato instead of diced. Also added quite a bit more red pepper for a really good kick. Great recipe for anyone that likes tomato soup and it's got a little more staying power with the limas... gives you protein, fiber, and does make this soup much more hearty. Didn't even need the cheese!

This was very delicious. I tweaked it a bit though by using dried lima beans, (I like the texture), added carrots, used whole tomatoes and made it in the crockpot. Served with corn bread. Yum!

Nice soup using ingredients I usually have on hand. I'd like to try this using beef broth as I tend to prefer tomatoey soups with a beefy base. But this was a nice change and uses my favorite lima beans. Filling and healthy. Thanks for sharing it.
