This makes a VERY thick, creamy soup. My dried fava beans cooked up so fast, they turned to mush and I didn't even need to blend it!! Not using chicken broth, I added a couple cloves of crushed garlic, veggie broth powder, some paprika and about 1/4 tsp of salt. Not overly exciting, but a good soup all the same. I'd like to try it with roasted garlic and maybe some other traditional Portuguese seasonings. Thanks for posting! Update: I want to add this is VERY good with garlic croutons!
