ingredients
directions
- Boil the fava beans for about 5 minutes. Then put in cold water to cool.
- Once cool, peel the fava beans, starting with the dark spot of a hinge at the end (or the butt, as Lindsey would have it -- ).
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and let the oil warm for about a minute.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the onion, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes transparent,.
- Add the bay leaf, water, and carrot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the fava beans and cook another 5 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf & transfer all ingredients to a food processor, add salt & pepper to taste, and puree until soup is smooth and thick. (you may have to do it in batches if you've got a small one like me).
- Enjoy with some nice whole grain toast, or whatever suits you!

this is me in my biking get-up. my husband and i go on monthly critical mass bike rides with a group of local folks to promote alternative forms of transportation.
i'm originally from the Midwest, but my husband & i moved down here to Miami, FL, where we are both in a PhD program in anthropology.
for fun i watch lots and lots of movies, read novels, non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, graphic novels, catalogs, pretty much anything i can get my hands on, especially cookbooks.
my pets are rita and nesta, nearly identical brother & sister littermates. they are the most co-dependent kitties i have ever known. very sweet, but a little too clingy sometimes.
my pet peeves are the phrases, "i don't like it" followed by, "i've never had it".
