2 lb fava beans (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Hi Mary (and anyone else who likes our fava bean soup)!
Here’s the recipe, courtesy of chef Sergio. The way he’s laid it out is making our fava bean dip, and then making a bechamel sauce as the base for the soup, and then combining them together.
1) Make our Fava Bean Dip:
1 oz chopped garlic
1 quart julienned yellow onions
2 lbs English peas (fresh or frozen)
½ bunch thyme, chopped
2 cups grated pecorino cheese
2 lb fava beans (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups veggie stock
Salt & pepper to taste
Sautée the onions with garlic & oil until translucent, add fava beans & peas & cook for about 5 minutes, turn flame off & add the rest of the ingredients, puree to desired consistency.
2) Make our Béchamel sauce:
¼ lb butter
1 tbs chopped garlic
2 cups diced yellow onions
1 cup flour
3 cups milk
1 cup cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Sautée the onions with butter, add flour & white wine (cook until the alcohol evaporates), add milk & cream & cook on low heat, stirring, for about 20 minutes
3) Combine the two recipes for the soup, adding the puree to the pot with the Béchamel liquid over low heat and stirring slowly to combine.
This recipe serves about 10 to 12 people–let us know how it goes!
Hi!
I have been reading the Bi-Rite book and then the blog and you are just the best.
We do not have grocery stores like this one in Spain. I envy the people from Mission so much!
By the way, a focaccia (we call it “coca”) with some anchovies in olive oil baked on top is a treat you should not miss.
Keep up the good work!
