Serving

4 1/2 lb unshelled fava beans (about 2 1/4 cups shelled)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup uncooked acini di pepe (about 3 oz)
2 tbsp dry sherry
4 cups fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 1/3 cups (1-inch) sliced asparagus
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
