Cómo preparar

1
Place the rinsed fava beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water by 5 cm. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes, skimming any foam, until the beans are beginning to soften. Drain and set aside.
2
Wipe out the pot and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are glossy and the onion is translucent.
3
Add the garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant, taking care not to brown the garlic.
4
Stir in the par-cooked fava beans, pearl barley, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring the mixture to a full boil, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned vegetable bits.
5
Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes; the soup is ready when the barley is tender and the fava beans are creamy but still recognizable.

6
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper; let the soup rest for 5 minutes so the barley can finish absorbing the broth.
7
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread, olive oil, and an optional extra splash of cider vinegar.

Por qué funciona esta receta

Fava beans provide a creamy, earthy base while barley adds satisfying chew. Sweating the aromatics before simmering builds depth, and cider vinegar balances the soup without making it taste sharp.

Conservación y recalentado

Cómo conservarla

Cool the soup promptly and refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 4 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months; freeze without garnishes and leave room for expansion.

Cómo recalentarla

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming throughout, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth because the barley thickens the soup as it stands.
