Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

500g dry white kidney beans or cannellini beans or navy beans (18 ounces)
3-4 carrots, finely chopped
1 large white onion, finely chopped (if you love onions, add one more!)
3 stalks of celery, finely chopped
130ml extra virgin olive oil (1/2 cup)
2 tbsps tomato paste
a pinch of paprika (hot or sweet, according to preferance)
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (min 2 flat teaspoons each)

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!

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

8 oz. dried Navy or Cannellini beans
6 cups of fresh water
1 sm. red onion, chopped
2 med. celery stalks (with their leaves), thickly sliced
2 med. carrots, thickly sliced
2 med. garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large bay leaves
1½ cups tomato passata, like Pomi (or thick crushed tomatoes)
1 TBSP. tomato paste
1 med. Yukon gold potato, cubed
½ tsp. dried Greek oregano
¾-1 tsp. sea salt
--- freshly ground pepper
--- red pepper flakes
1-2 TBSP. vinegar
⅓ cup extra virgin Greek olive oil

Steps:

Pick over and rinse the beans, discard malformed or stone-like ones. Soak the beans for at least 8 hours or overnight (preferably).
The next morning, drain and rinse the beans. Place them in a large pot with just enough fresh water to cover them. Bring to a boil. You will notice that white foam will rise to the surface of the water. Remove it with a spoon and then drain the beans in a colander. (This step is necessary to get rid of the impurities and it also makes the beans much easier on your stomach!)
Place the beans back in the pot with the six cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 30 minutes. While the beans cook, prep the vegetables.
Add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, ⅓ cup of olive oil and bay leaves to the pot. Simmer, partially covered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the tomatoes, tomato paste, potato and the seasoning. Cover the pot partially and continue simmering for about 30 minutes more, or, until the beans are very tender and the soup is thick and creamy (*see note). Check to see if a little more liquid is needed, and if it does add a little warm water. The consistency of the soup should be thick.
Just before removing from the heat, discard the bay leaves and stir in the vinegar and the remaining ⅓ cup of olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot with some hearty bread, seasoned olives and Greek Feta cheese.

FASOLADA (GREEK BEAN SOUP)

Fasolada (Greek Bean Soup) image

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).

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 kg dried navy beans, soaked overnight (cannelini beans are traditional in greece)
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups onions, cut in small dice
1 1/2 cups celery, cut in small dice
1 1/2 cups carrots, cut in small dice
1 1/2 cups potatoes, cut in small dice
1/3 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper
Tabasco sauce
Tabasco jalapeno sauce (jalapeno)
grated parmesan cheese

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.
