To make this broth more substantial, you can add a scoop of risotto rice at the same time as the fava beans and a little more stock to compensate. Frozen fava beans are a godsend and can be added to soups, risottos, pasta and a lot more besides.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Peel the zest from the lemon in one large piece so it's easy to find later and add that to the pan. Add the onion, parsley and zucchini, cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until softening.
Remove the lemon zest. Add the fava beans and stock, season well with salt and pepper and return to the heat for a further 20 minutes.
Transfer a quarter of the soup to a blender, if you have one, and liquidize until smooth, then stir back into the soup. Skip this step if you don't have a blender. Check the seasoning and add lemon juice to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a fresh grinding of pepper.
