This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also added some diced potatoes and carrots to the soup.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chorizo from this recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This fava bean soup was a delightful surprise! The flavors were rich and complex, and the texture was smooth and creamy. I especially appreciated the addition of the chorizo, which added a smoky and savory note to the dish.
