Our Fava Bean Soup. The peeled fava bean are a great way to enjoy this particular legume throughout the year; in Marche Region there are high quality fava beans, the ones coming from Fratte Rosa. That’s why our fava beans soup tough very simple has a unique and inimitable flavour.
Ingredients for 5 people:
- 500 grams of peeled fava beans
- Half an onion
- Two thick slices of bread cut into cubes
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
Essential Ingredients:
- Peeled Fava Beans of Fratte Rosa of I Lubachi
- Tenero Ascolano Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Oleificio Silvestri
- Optional: Medium Hard Pecorino
Preparation:
Wash the beans and put them to soak in cold water 24 hours before cooking. Finely chop the onion, place in a large pot with 4 generous tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, let it dry and when it reaches a nice golden colour add the beans, drained and plenty of warm water, add salt, bring to a boil and cook for about two hours by covering the pot with a lid. If necessary, add hot water to maintain the proper density, because the beans at the end of the cooking time will be becoming a sort of cream. Meanwhile, toast the bread cubes on a non-stick pan with a little oil. Transfer to bowls or soup bowls, add the diced bread warm, drizzle with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately, adding cheese to taste.
Enjoy your meal!
Our advice:
Fava beans are also excellent as side dish, just restrict it so that it has the consistency of a puree, it will be perfect alongside a roast or two good slices of cheese.
