This recipe is almost completely Fat Free and provides protein via the lima beans and the smoked meat. Lima beans are a legume and contain a substantial amount of vegetable protein and fiber. Good luck, go try it and let me know how you like it. 

You  may add cream of mushroom soup. It adds flavor but also know it is high in calories and milk products cause inflammation throughout the body
