This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of cumin, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful and delicious.

This soup is a delicious and hearty dish, perfect for a cold winter day. The fava beans are soft and flavorful, and the broth is rich and savory. I especially love the addition of the cumin and coriander, which give the soup a warm and inviting aroma
