I have grown these beans, which are amazingly beautiful and bountiful, AND we harvested on Christmas day, which might be how they got their name 😋

Thank you so much. I love this soup and it’s often overlooked. I really like how you improvised. I actually was out in California last year so I do have some Christmas Lima beans. You can order them at Rancho Gordo. https://www.ranchogordo.com/collections/heirloom-beans/products/christmas-lima-beans

I just made this recipe for the second time. It’s a very simple and easy to follow recipe. The first time I made it was with Christmas lima beans and it was amazing! The olive oil had me nervous, because it seemed like so much, but it provides so much depth of flavor (I was surprised.) This time I could only find baby limas (i miss California ) but I tried to make up lack of extra flavor by using my own canned Purple Cherokee tomatoes (with celery), added a little white pepper, and some of the olive liquid with the olives when serving (I do not have oil preserved, but used mostly kalamata and think they paired well.) The lemon juice squeeze is essential (I love lemony soups.)
Thanks for this simple, lovely recipe.
Ps. I freezer canned 2 quarts of this with my previous trial, and they kept for 2months just fine.

Sorry you feel that way. We find it very delicious, and with the olives and tomato not bland at all. This is probably not a soup for you.

I have to say this recipe came out bland and disappointing. I added things to spice them up, but I will not be making this recipe again.
