Add lime jello and blend on high until well mixed about 30-60 seconds. If you are concerned about putting boiling water in your blender, mix jello and water in a bowl until all the jello has dissolved.
Put remaining ingredients in the blender and pulse a couple of times to get things mixed. Turn on high and blend for about 1 minute and until everything is well mixed.
Pour into individual serving dishes, jello mold, or other dish and let chill until well set (8 hours or overnight). |

Don't think that adding fresh pineapple will make this taste better. I tried that once, and the juice of the fresh pineapple reacts with the gelatin, and it won't set. Then you will have to change the title to Lime Jello Soup.
Funny story - When we moved to New Mexico, surrounded by Native Americans, we discovered that Navajo people as a whole, tend not to eat foods that are green. When trying to sell produce, they didn't know what to do with spinach, lettuce was only to put on top of tacos, and they weren't sure what zucchinis were.
When I showed up at potlucks with my lime jello salad, people just looked at it. I'm not sure if they thought I blended up lettuce or what, but they had no intention of touching that green stuff. We taught our boys to be polite, so we told them that they may take a little, but they needed to leave some for the rest of the people.
After everyone went through the line, they would come and ask if they could now take more since no one else ate any. People began watching the boys just waiting for their opportunity to dig in. Hey, if kids like it, it must taste good. One day a brave soul tried some, and, much to the boys' dismay, the dish was soon empty. Next time we had a potluck, the people at the end of the line didn't get any of the jello salad, and I began making double batches.
