Ingredients

1 cup Dried broad beans
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 large Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Lemon juice

Method

Rinse the broad beans and soak them in water for at least 8 hours, or overnight, then drain and rinse them again.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until translucent, 5–7 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add broad beans and 4 cups of water, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until the broad beans are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or allow it to cool and puree it in a blender.
Return the soup to the pot and reheat it over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and steaming, about 10 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and serve.
