Chilled fennel and broad bean soup

Zuppa fredda di finocchio e fave

SERVES 4

PREPARATION 15 minutes

COOKING 15 minutes

My old friend and fellow chef Antonio moved to the island of Pantelleria a few years ago. He makes a soup very similar to this one to combat the sweltering August heat. It is delicious, and perfect to be enjoyed in the midday shade.
