Lets cook some Fava beans

I saw these at the store and wanted to try them because they looked interesting.  I got the red mill ones  because you didn't have to soak them.  I made this bean and ham soup for dear husband.  I put in the beans, celery, onion, green pepper. carrots and 2 cans of broth.  I chopped all those veggies with the chop o matic and tossed them in and turned on the heat.  When I got home from the store I added the ham I just picked up.  I would add spice to taste.  maybe some cilantro.  I thought it was good.  For me I made some miso.  Husband hated miso.  To the miso I added some beans, onion, carrots and mushrooms.  I did leave the first batch on the stove while I went to visit my friend Mary and stop at the store.  I must of been at Mary's to long because it ran out of water because I was to lazy to find a cover for that pan.  I did put a cover on DH's pan.  I had to quick remake mine.  It was good.  I did put 1 oz of cheese on mine because I like cheese in soup.  I really like onion soup. I do like the miso and I have a big bag of it.  You only use a small amount of the miso paste to make this.
I have to say afterr looking up how good these beans are for you I will make this again.  I will make the ham one again too.
What is the worst that can happen if you try something new?  Man should not live on pizza alone.
I now have to look up how to put your grill together and get the ignitor to work.  I love you tube.
Have a good time cooking.
