  I made it today in preparation for a dinner party I'm having this weekend, and it is so nice I want to eat the whole batch myself right now! When I was 'shucking' all those beans I thought that there was no way all that effort would be worth the result but it really is. I will be making this again and again, especially as it can be frozen. Delicious!

  I was dubious, whilst shucking so many beans, whether or not the effort truly was worth it, as suggested by the other commenters and I am happy to say they are completely right. This soup is delicious and subtly wonderful.

  Definitely not worth it. We had it for dinner and thought is was ok, but nothing special. Froze the rest and heated it up a few weeks later. Something happened during the freezing process and it tasted far too salty, even though I did not add anything.
