This is the first time I have ever rated anything. I love this soup. It is great as is or you can adapt to your taste buds. I've cooked it several times and each time I try something new in it such as chicken, polish sausage, kale (yummm yummm, and pasta. If you don't like butter beans then use a different bean. If you don't like sweet from the creamed corn then use frozen corn. If you like spicy, such as I do, then add your favorite spice/pepper/heat. Happy eating and enjoy! Thanks Trisha for my new favorite soup recipe. :

Oh so bland. I grew up in an era -1950's-when housewives like my mom had no access to herbs and spices-they simply weren't available. But we've come a long way since then. I made it as printed for the heck of it. Hmm. But it's so easy now to make this good. How about adding some color to those onions first? Only takes a minute.Then add some minced garlic. Some herbs-Italian or basil or thyme or dill? Creamed corn? I keep that on hand for corn bread but it's not real healthy, and too sweet. For this recipe, add some frozen corn and some cream or half and half. Cooked small pasta works wonders, too. C' mon the 50's are over. I love my mom's old recipes, and as she got older she was thrilled with some of new stuff available to her-but we can do better than salt, pepper, and canned veg.of the 50's. This recipe doesn't need to be complicated or long cooking. It just need some flavor. Nostalgia isn't always tasty. Sorry Trisha.

Very easy, but it just tastes like a canned processed soup, used the immersion blender at the end a bit. Gave it 3 stars because it was so easy and pretty healthy.

I made this soup with vegetable stock and everything else is the same I loved it. It was so easy and so good. It is currently on the stove again and I cannot wait until it is done. For a bit of a twist a cook a very small amount of elbow macaroni to add. I will get it separate from the soup until serving. I am the only lover of lime beans, so my next attempt I might try a white bean so more can enjoy this quick and wonderful soup.

I made this because I wanted soup in a short amount of time, it was easy, and I had all of the ingredients. I added sliced carrots and about 1/2 can of limas, drained and rinsed. My husband doesn't like limas, so I tried to go easy on them. I think there are many ways to substitute vegetables to customize to your own tastes. I also added a Knorr chicken bouillon cube because I think it makes the broth richer and adds something good. Not sure how 'elmoyer' found it to be sweet?! You must have a VERY refined palate. Nevertheless, we both loved it, I have passed it on to a few friends, and will make it again.

I made this because of how easy the recipe looked, and it was. I had part of a bag of frozen corn in my freezer, so I added that, too, and substituted Italian green beans for the lima beans, which I'm not a huge fan of. I really enjoyed this soup, and was pleasantly surprised to find that a decent size serving of it filled me up at dinner, knowing that it's healthy and better than my usual frozen diet entree!

I know I'm in the minority here. Made the soup for lunch exactly as written. For my taste, it was overwhelmingly sweet, so I tried adding more spices and fresh spinach. Still not to my liking. My husband, always the diplomat, ate his serving & asked what happened to my usual vegetable soup recipe - you know, the one with beef!

Great recipe, added carrots and a cut up chicken breast from last nights dinner. My husband now is crazy for both Trisha Yearwood and her soup! I will be using this for our Sunday soup night. I have always hated lima beans but this recipe completely changed my mind. Next is cornflake chicken and apple ambrosia. Thank you Trisha.

This recipe is a great base for vegetable soup. Can be left just the way it is, or you can add whatever you want to beef it up. I added ground venison and green beans to make mine a little heartier. Also some garlic powder and a few squirts of hot sauce don't hurt.

I've made this 3 times already. We love it. The cream corn was a good trick to thicken it up.
