Easy Crock Pot Ham & Lima Bean Soup image

Growing up, I loved my mom's ham and lima bean soup. It's just good old comfort food for me. I've never made mom's recipe but was meaning to ask for it after one day picking up a couple cans of lima beans for no reason. It'd been months since buying them and I purchased a new bowl that I wanted to use for soup photos so I scrounged around in the pantry and fridge. This was the result. It's a light soup, not heavy with tomatoes or cream, which was perfect for a family of 4 all feeling under the weather. My family really enjoyed it. I hope you do too!

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would add more broth next time.

This soup is a little bit bland for my taste. I would add some extra seasonings next time.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! It was so easy to throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day. The soup was delicious and my husband and kids loved it.
