Ingredients:

Serving

3 bacon slices
2 cups chopped leek (about 2 leeks)
4 cups fresh baby lima beans
4 cups fat-free , lower-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions:

Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside. Add leek to drippings in pan; cook 7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in beans, broth, and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until beans are tender.
Place half of bean mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters), and blend until smooth. Pour pureed bean mixture into a large bowl; repeat procedure with remaining bean mixture. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each of 8 bowls; top each serving with 1 tablespoon onions, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and about 1 teaspoon bacon.
