Interesting to note your source for heirloom beans. We became entranced with the large white beans in Spain. I found some in a market and brought them home. Used some of them in my Italian Wedding Soup. They can be delicious when fresh. Used some of my home grown dried fava beans recently in a soup. They are more work, because you have to remove the outer skin after they've been shelled, but they were worth it.
Thanks for your comment, Patricia! I tasted some wonderful large white beans in Spain also—probably similar to the Royal Coronas. I’m eager to try your Italian Wedding Soup! I’ve never tried favas, but they’re on my list!

Yummy. I am inspired to be soupy and let you try my creation! Maybe on a cold, rainy day on your patio.
