Pretty good soup for a cold winter day.I left the okra out the second time as I thought it made the soup kinda slimey.Overall I would make again.Thanks for the post.

Delicious. I substituted the lima beans for the butter beans. My family loved it. Even better the next day

When I originally listed the recipe - I used Butter Beans instead of Lima Beans, as my family are not big on Lima Beans... The Butter Beans can be found in your frozen vegetable section as well as with you other vegetables.
