Lima beans are not my kids' favorite food. But I can serve them if I'm creative, or sneaky, about it! I've got a savory mix of herbs in this soup, as well as some carrots and tomatoes, so the soup turns out pretty kid-friendly. This soup is also pretty enough to serve company. Then I serve it as a soup before the main dish. I haven't had any complaints yet!
