Bean soup! bean soup! (cheap vegan food)

Sprouted fava beans soup.

It's one of my favorite easy dishes and so I wanted to share it with my

-loving comrades

In case you don't know how to get some beans to sprout

:

Soak your fava beans in water for 24 hours.

Then drain the water, rinse the beans and cover them with wet kitchen paper, towel or cheese cloth.

It's gonna take 2 or 3 days for the beans to sprout, during which you should rinse the beans twice a day, as well as wash the towel and wring it before covering the beans with it again.

  • Cut an onion and a lemon in half, and add them and the sprouted beans to a pot of boiling water.
  • Add minced garlic, some chopped carrots (optional) and 3 bay leaves.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, cumin and dried coriander.
  • Put the lid partially on and make sure to skim the foam off of the soup. It's gonna take 20-30 mins to cook.


  • Now heat up some oil in a pan and fry 2 table spoons of minced garlic till golden yellow, then add it to the pot once the beans are cooked. Serve it with rice or pita bread.

P.S.: You can use vegan broth instead of water, and you can threw in a couple of small onions as well.
