Preparation: In a Dutch oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat, saute onion and carrots in the butter for 6 minutes. Add garlic powder and herb seasoning, and lemon juice. Cook until onions are soft. Add ham, lima beans, marjoram, parsley, and water.

Sounds pretty good. I'll probably give it a shot as well.

I made this for dinner tonight. I've always used a white bean in my ham & bean soup, actually, I don't even like lima beans, BUT...this was great!

I like to use a good ham bone to help with the flavor.
