Mexican Fava Bean Soup
Sopa de Habas
This mild (chile-free) version of Sopa de Habas is all about mellow, earthy flavors and a silky texture. With the beans fully blended, the soup becomes smooth and naturally creamy. Tomato, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic form a subtle backbone — a mild sweetness from fresh tomato and a quiet savoriness from the aromatics.
Mexican oregano added toward the end brings a fresh, herbal lift. It gives the soup a gentle brightness that cuts through the heartiness of the blended beans. And the toppings aren’t just decorative — they add contrast, temperature, and texture, turning a simple bowl of soup into something lively.
