If it&#8217;s looking a little too thick, you can add more broth or a bit of cream. Just don&#8217;t let the cream reach a boiling point while you&#8217;re reheating the soup.<\/p>\n<h3>Are lima beans and butter beans the same thing?<\/h3>\n<p>Indeed they are. Identifiable by their greenish color and double bean shape, limas and butter beans are one and the same.<\/p>\n<h3>Are lima beans good for you?<\/h3>\n<p>This is a big yes! They are known to help lower cholesterol, aid with weight loss and improve digestion, thanks to all the protein and fiber these beans pack.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I make lima bean soup less bland?<\/h3>\n<p>You can easily add more oomph to this recipe for lima bean soup. If the dried herbs don&#8217;t do it for you in the flavor department, try adding fresh herbs like dill, rosemary or thyme. You could even give it a Cajun kick with some Creole seasoning.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I make my soup creamier?<\/h3>\n<p>Try adding a little creme fraiche, Dijon mustard or a combination of the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This comforting lima bean soup proves that lima beans are not to be underestimated.

Next time I'll make it with frozen limas and fresh sweet red peppers. And as others have commented on the difference of lima beans....the dried baby limas that I used tasted more like butter beans in my personal opinion.

Perfect the way it is but  I bump-up the bacon to 5 or 6 strips for more flavor. Sometimes I add a bit of chopped chicken to make it heartier.

I liked the soup because it was flavorful and filling and, best of all, low in calories, fat and carbs. While it was tasty I don't think my husband is going to be a fan of this recipe. I did use fat free half-and-half; not sure whether that negatively impacted the overall taste. Perhaps sliced kielbasa and garlic, as one other reviewer added, would give this more of a  \"Wow\" factor. It's a keeper of a recipe because it's so healthy  but it isn't at the top of our list of favorite soups.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-03-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"walkerjo"},"reviewBody":"Nice change to regular vegetable soup.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-27","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"katywhip"},"reviewBody":"I make this soup frequently and it has become a family joke of sorts, because of all the people who have turned their nose at the description and title of the soup.
