Place the fava beans in a bowl, soak overnight in cold water, remove the skins and any dark fava beans you find, rinse three times, and drain. Place the fava beans in a Pressure Cooker®, add 1 liter of water, a clove of garlic, a piece of onion, and a teaspoon of salt. Close the Pressure Cooker® and place the pressure regulator on it, put it on the stove over high heat for about 25 minutes or until a constant steam comes out, lower the heat to medium, start timing the cooking, and cook for 15 minutes. Move to the sink and cover with cold water. Remove the regulator and uncover. Transfer to a bowl and discard the garlic and onion; mash the fava beans slightly with a potato masher until they are broken up and the broth thickens. Wash the nopales and cut them into cubes or strips. Boil them in a pot with hot water and a pinch of baking soda to cut the "slime." In a pot, fry the chopped onion, chopped tomato, and seasoning cube in olive oil, let it season, and add the fava bean broth; adjust the seasoning. Add the cooked and drained nopales. Transfer to soup bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with the chili on the side.
