Magnifico Curiosity

Did you overindulge in huge lunches and dinners during the holiday season? Did you enjoy way too much panettone and pandoro? It is time to detox!

This fava bean and chicory soup is very similar to macco Siciliano, a soup of mashed fava beans. In fact, Zuppa Fave e Cicoria is part of a vast southern Italian tradition of bean and vegetable soups. Invented in the Puglia region, this dish combines the sweetness of creamy fava beans with bitter chicory.
