I liked the simplicity of the prep time and ingredients but found the soup to be too bland. I realize it is basically low fat, low cal but it needed more seasoning for our taste. If I try it again, I will definitely add seasoning and maybe some chopped greens for texture and flavor. I agree about having a difficult time finding the frozen Lima beans so if you see any and plan on trying this within several months, you may want to grab some for your freezer.

Everyone liked it. Added garlic to add more flavor but other than that it was wonderful. Will definitely make again.

I love this recipe. I don't much care for lima beans, so we used black beans. They teamed up with the corn for a fabulous taste. I'll definitely make this again!

Great recipe! I added a few dashes of hot sauce. So appreciate the nutrition info. However it would help if it the serving size was included - not just the number of servings. Tks!

Has potential, but very bland. I saw Trisha prepare this on her show and it sounded so good, I made it the same day. On the show, she mentioned that it is good all the time, but also that her mother would make it for her when she wasn't feeling well as a child. I definitely can see it being good in that situation when someone wants something bland, even bland enough for a sick child. But for other days, it needs more spice. I added some garlic and Italian seasonings. That was not quite right, but helped. It is a good enough basic soup that I will keep the recipe and continue to experiment to find the right additional spice blend.

Grew up in the 50s and this recipe was a wonderful blast from the past - delicious as is. The hardest part is finding frozen lima beans in small town grocery stores.

Had to laugh at the lengthy review that said spices and herbs weren't available in the 50's. And where was that? ;- I was cooking in the '50's and using many of my mother's recipes with fresh garlic, dried herbs, parsley. Granted, much more is available today and probably many tastes have changed. I will add more seasoning to the recipe but it's a start.

This recipe sounded sort of plain to me, but it turned out excellent. The only change I made was to add a few Kale leaves (I had them and needed to use them, and sprinkled some parsley on top. Very tasty.

I was certain that I would have to add some thyme or chilli powder or curry or something to make it match my taste, but I did not. Salt and pepper was all it took.

This was pretty good, I could have done without the Lima Beans but overall pretty good.

I made this soup for my husband. He absolutely loved it. He actually said that it was better than his mother's, who is a fantastic cook! If some of the reviews say that it is bland, it probably is because they didn't season it well enough. I did alter the recipe by using Yukon gold potatoes. This is a must try soup for a cold winter day!
