Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Fava beans Drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium Potatoes Peeled and diced
  • 2 medium Carrots Peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks Celery Chopped
  • 2 medium Tomatoes Diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Fresh parsley Chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin, cooking for an additional minute until highly fragrant.
  • Add the drained fava beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring well to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are completely tender.
