Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh fava beans
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander

  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 lb string beans, trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ lb gluten-free pasta
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
  1. Remove the fava beans from their pods. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add fava beans and boil for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse with cold water. Peel second skin off of fava beans. Set beans aside.
  2. Put onions and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
