Steps:
- To prepare the fasolada (Greek bean soup), place the beans in a saucepan with plenty of cold water to cover them. Bring to the boil, turn the heat down to medium and parboil for 30-35 minutes, until slightly tender. Drain in colander and set aside.
- Finely chop the onion, celery and carrots. Add 3-4 tbsps of olive oil in a deep pan, add the chopped vegetables and blend. Sauté for about 2 minutes and add the tomato paste and continue sautéing for a minute.
- Add the parboiled beans in the pan and pour in enough boiling water to cover the beans and little bit more and blend lightly. Place the lid on and simmer the fasolada for about 35 minutes, until the beans are tender.
- Towards the end of cooking time, pour in the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Boil for a few more minutes, until the soup becomes thick and creamy.
- Serve this traditional Greek bean soup (fasolada) while still steaming hot with a few Kalamata olives and of course some village bread. Enjoy!

FASOLADA (GREEK BEAN SOUP)
Very homey and comforting - especially on a cold day, when you want a more 'stick-to-your-ribs' type soup. This is definitely better made a couple of days in advance, so perfect to make over a quieter weekend to enjoy during a busier working week. The cooking time is approximate as it will depend on how old your beans are, how long you've soaked them, and how you cook them (I use a pressure cooker to cook the beans and then proceed with the rest of the recipe in a standard soup pot).

Steps:
- Cook the beans until tender. Drain.
- In a soup pot, add beans and enough water to cover beans plus 3 extra cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Add remaining ingredients, season to taste with salt and pepper, and simmer until vegetables are cooked through, and soup has thickened, about 20 minutes. (greeks like soft veggies, you may want your soup cooked slightly less if you like crispier veggies). This soup only improves over the next few days, so go ahead and make it way before you plan to eat it.
- Note: At the table, I like to serve this with the choice of regular Tabasco, and the green (jalapeno) version, for people to add to their bowls as per their liking. I like a couple of drops of the red Tabasco, and a bit heavier on the green for more herbal notes. Also, for a more European flavour, a generous sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese at the table is divine.

They are a humble ingredient that makes a sustainable source of protein and ultimately satisfaction. That's why you can find Fasolada - Greek White Bean Soup - throughout the country.

- Soak the beans overnight in a big pan with plenty of water and rinse them the next day. Place the beans in a big pan with 1 litre of water, and bring them to the boil. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the olive oil) to the pan and let it slow-cook for an hour.
- Slow-cooking the beans with plenty of water is the only secret to this recipe. Slow cooking the beans will create a thick soup, by allowing the starch of the beans to thicken the soup.

- Put the beans in a large bowl, cover them with 2lt of water (room temperature), and let them soak all night. Rinse before starting to cook in the next morning. If you will cook the beans later in the day, it's better to put them in the fridge after rinsing, covered with some fresh water and rinse them again before cooking.
- Put the olive oil in a large pot, on medium to high heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook until they are translucent. At this point, add the rinsed beans and saute for 3-4 minutes. Next, add 8 of the cups of warm water (2lt), cover half the pot with the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 30 minutes.
- Then, add the rest 4 cups of warm water (1lt), the celery and the carrots and continue cooking for 1 more hour. It's important to check that you always have enough water in the pot towards the end of the hour. Also stir every 5 minutes towards the end of cooking.
- After 1 hour, the beans and vegetables are ready (soft when bitten). If the beans are not fresh enough, they may be a bit hard. In such case, add some more water and continue cooking for 30 more minutes. At the end, the soup must have thickened, due to the starch from the beans. Add salt and pepper and stir. Serve with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top of each dish, fresh lemon juice and ground pepper. Kali oreksi!
