Add hot water if necessary. Let cool a little and put every thing through a wire sieve or food processor.  It should be like a creamed soup.
Turn back into the pot. Add chopped dill leaves and boil for 2 minutes stirring.

The day you will serve:  Cube fine 2 large onions and fry them in 6 Tb. Sp. of olive oil until they are amber color.  Spread over fava. (fried onions lose crispness and color if left in the fridge over night.)
