|
||
|
||
Make sure the @hulled dried fava bean{1%lb} are clean and free of dirt, then rinse them well.
|
||
Place the beans in a #large soup pot and cover with @vegetable broth{8%cup}.
|
||
Simmer over medium-low heat, partially covered, until very tender and beginning to fall apart {60%minute}.
|
||
|
||
While the beans simmer, place the unpeeled @garlic clove{6} in a #heavy skillet over medium heat.
|
||
Roast, turning occasionally, until black spots form and the cloves are soft {15%minute}.
|
||
Let cool slightly, remove the skins, finely chop the garlic, and set aside.
|
||
|
||
Arrange the sliced @white onion{1} in a single layer on a rimmed #baking sheet.
|
||
Place about 4 inches under a hot #broiler and broil until soft and deeply browned, about {4–5%minute} per side.
|
||
Remove, let cool slightly, then finely chop.
|
||
|
||
Using the same baking sheet, place the @ripe tomato{1.5%lb} under the broiler.
|
||
Roast until blackened on one side {6%minute}, flip, and roast the other side {6%minute}.
|
||
Let cool slightly, peel, chop, and reserve all juices.
|
||
|
||
Add the chopped garlic, onion, tomatoes, and tomato juices to the pot with the beans.
|
||
Continue simmering until the beans reach the consistency of a coarse purée {15–30%minute}.
|
||
|
||
While the soup simmers, cut the @dried guajillo chile{6} into small confetti-shaped pieces using scissors or a knife.
|
||
Heat the @extra virgin olive oil{2%tbsp} in a #small saucepan over medium heat.
|
||
Add the chiles and stir for {1%minute}, then remove from heat.
|
||
Stir in the @cider vinegar{2%tbsp}, @water{3%tbsp}, @dried Mexican oregano{0.75%tsp}, and @fine-grain sea salt{0.5%tsp}.
|
||
Set aside and let stand, stirring occasionally {30%minute}.
|
||
|
||
Just before serving, add enough @water{} to the soup to reach a medium-thick bean soup consistency.
|
||
Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
|
||
Stir in the @fresh mint{2%tbsp}, @fresh cilantro{0.5%cup}, and the remaining @fine-grain sea salt{1%tsp}.
|
||
Taste and adjust salt if needed, keeping in mind the cheese is salty.
|
||
|
||
Serve the soup topped with a spoonful of the chile mixture and a sprinkle of @queso anejo or feta{0.5%cup}. |
