This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze it in individual containers. Then I can just heat up a container whenever I need a quick and easy meal.

I'm not really a fan of lima beans, but I actually liked this soup. The beans were cooked perfectly and the soup was very flavorful.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the lima beans and the chicken, and they always ask for seconds.

This soup is a great comfort food. It's so warm and hearty, and it always makes me feel better when I'm feeling sick or down.

I love that this soup can be made in the crock pot. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook all day. I always have a bowl of soup ready for dinner when I get home from work.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roast chicken, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't thicken up. Maybe I should have cooked it for longer.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This soup was easy to make and tasted great. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added a little bit of cayenne pepper for some heat. It was a perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

This soup was just what I needed on a cold winter day. It was hearty and filling, and the flavors were perfect. I especially liked the addition of the thyme and rosemary.

I'm not usually a fan of lima beans, but this soup changed my mind. The beans were creamy and delicious, and the chicken and vegetables added a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be making this soup again.
