A whisper of hot pepper sparks this mix of beans and tomatoes. If you like, a garnish of shaved Parmesan cheese would be attractive and tasty.
Ingredients

Variation
Fava Bean Soup: Use 1-1/2 lb (750 g) shelled fresh fava beans (5 lb/2.2 kg unshelled) instead of the baby lima beans. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water. Let cool completely. Pinch skin of each to break at 1 end; squeeze bean out of skin. (Or use frozen fava beans.)
