PUREED FAVA BEAN SOUP
Fava beans are surprisingly flavorful and easy to work with. They blend well with other ingredients and carry enough flavor to leave their own mark. The do require shelling if you buy them fresh, but it's really no trouble at all. Thanks to the adundance of fresh and unfamiliar (to me) produce here in Guatemala, I've had to learn to be a more inventive cook, and this has opened me to the wonderful world of favas. All props for this recipe to go Lindsey of El Cuartito cafe, who shared with me the secret to the new weekly special.

Steps:
- 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!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat and set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Add the shelled fava beans to the boiling water. Once the water has come back to a boil, cook the beans for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them from the boiling water and immediately put them into the bowl of salted ice water. Once the beans have cooled completely, strain them from the ice water. Peel the tough, light green outer layer from the beans. You will be left with a delicate, lovely vibrantly green tender fava bean. MMMMMM! Reserve these little lovelies.
- Coat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil. Add the bacon (if using, if not just start with the onions and celery) and once the bacon has started to become brown and crispy and is very aromatic, add the diced onions and celery. Season with salt, to taste, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Cook the onions and celery until they become translucent and are very aromatic. Add the smashed garlic cloves and the diced potato, stir to coat with the oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2/3 of the reserved fava beans and 4 cups stock. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed. Bring the stock to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- When the potatoes are tender enough to slide easily off a fork when cooked, puree the soup in a blender* until smooth. You probably will have to do this in batches. Return the soup to the pot, and add the remaining fava beans. If the soup is too thick, add some the remaining stock to adjust the consistency. Taste the soup to check the seasoning and reseason, if needed.
- Ladle the soup into serving dishes, give them a little sprinkle of grated Parmesan and a drizzle of big fat finishing oil.
- Fava beany-weany delicious!
