Delicious - I did not use lime (only bc I didn't have any) but the rest was perfect! Can't wait to have again!

After making the soup and tasting it, I agreed with one reviewer who said it "needed something". I added a teaspoon of taco seasoning and this really added much needed flavor. I served it with a dolop of FF sour cream, a tsp of salsa and a few tortilla chips. This is an easy recipe for sure, just needed more flavor.

Make sure to cut all of the white pith off the lime, or it will be bitter. I left out the cayenne, but added a bit of seasoned salt, chili powder, and cumin. Very tasty.

The lime absolutely ruins this otherwise perfect soup. The other thing this needs is fresh chopped cilantro. I also added cooked limas, about 3/4 of a cup. I would make this again just without the lime. way way too bitter. And I cook all the time so I know this is what ruined it.

It was pretty good...needs salt and something else in my opinion, but I'm not sure what that "something else" is...
