About the dish

Sopa de habas is a traditional dish prepared with dried fava beans as the key ingredient. Apart from the fava beans, the soup features onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños, but some people also like to add nopales as well. The soup is usually chunky, but it can also be puréed for a smoother consistency. It is especially popular during Lent and on colder days of the year.
