Soupe aux gourganes, a real taste of Lac-Saint Jean! Years ago, my mom and I would shell huge bags of “gourganes” to make soupe aux gourganes, a very filling soup, perfect for chilly winter days. I was thrilled to find gourganes in the frozen foods section at Adonis. These hearty, flavourful beans are also known as fèves des marais, broad beans, wetland beans or fava beans, although I’m not sure that fava bean is an accurate name. These extra large beans turn brown once cooked, and have an almost beefy flavour, perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich.
