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.

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