Instructions

1. Cook the fava beans in the broth with the whole onion, carrot and celery until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Take out the vegetables. Drain the beans, saving the broth, and slip off their skins by squeezing them between your fingers.
3. Blend the peeled beans with as much broth as you need: the author says the thickness is a matter of taste, anywhere from a thick purée to a light, creamy soup.
4. Add the vegan butter, sugar, salt and pepper and heat it before serving.
