Creamy Carrot Soup with Fava Beans
Serves: 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh (or frozen) shelled Fava beans
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound bag carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 sweet-tart apple, such as Fuji or Gala, peeled, cored, and diced
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook fava beans and drain; set aside. (If the beans are encased in a thin white skin, pierce the outer skin on each one with your fingernail and remove it)
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the broth, carrots, apple, onion, garlic, and coriander. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until carrots are very tender.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside for about 5-10 minutes. Pour soup into a blender in batches and puree until smooth. Return soup to saucepan and add fava beans. Simmer gently until heated through. Sprinkle each serving with cracked pepper and serve.
