#68 Medieval Bean and Bacon Soup




I couldn't find fava beans so I substituted Great Northern Beans in this dish.

Again, the addition of leeks adds a flavor that just resonates well with me.  One of the consequences of this cooking effort is that I now prefer leeks in dishes where cooked onions are called for.

I used the shtompus to manually crush all the beans when cooked... smoothing out the texture but still keeping the rustic roughness to it.

Once the blackened and crumbled bacon was added - very nice.
