Have you tried getting your family to eat lima beans and failed? You might want to make another stab at it with this hearty soup. I think it's the smoky and salty goodness of the bacon. Or maybe it's the combination of the lima beans with the butter beans that makes this soup such a success with kids, but, either way, you may just convince the family that lima beans are their new friends!
