Greek White Bean Soup in 30 Minutes! Delicious Fasolada

Fasolada is a classic Greek white bean soup that usually takes over an hour to make. This quick, 30-minute version still has all of that Greek flavor and heartiness of the original. Make a double batch of this because it freezes beautifully.
Printable Recipe: www.dimitrasdi...
Ingredients
1/4-1/3 cup olive oil
3 carrots, diced
2-3 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
5-6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4-1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 (15-ounce) cans of cooked white beans: navy, Great northern, or cannellini
salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6-8 cups vegetable broth or water
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Serve with: toasted bread, olives, and feta cheese
Instructions
Place the chopped onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in a pot and add the olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and golden.
Add the crushed tomatoes and the sugar and all of the seasonings.
Drain and rinse the beans and add them to the pot.
Add enough water/broth to cover the beans by an inch and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Add the parsley and stir.
Serve with toasted bread, feta, and olives. Enjoy!
Notes
Freezer Instructions: Once the soup has cooled completely, transfer to freezer-safe containers. Do not fill the containers more than 3/4 of the way as the soup will expand in the freezer.
Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving and then warm through in a pot. Add some more broth or water if needed and serve.

I love enjoying Fasolata during Lent and fasting periods!

Sooooo good. One of the cans of “beans” I had in the cupboard was actually lentils 😯, but it worked! Great flavor and really filling.

[@davidrimi6411]

I love this soup. the major difference for me is putting the carrots in a blender before cooking in a pressure cooker so the soup comes out sort of creamy

[@sorayayessad9701]

Bonsoir vraiment un grand merci pour la recette chef!!!!miammmmm j'adore

That is a yummy soup, I make a version of that with three different beans/coconut milk/Jamaican spicy chicken noodles. I would say your version is a lot lighter👌🥰 Blessings to you and your family through out the year.

Can’t wait to try this recipe. Love the pot you cooked the soup in. Is it from Greece?

[@jc1157]

Hi Dimitra can i add frozen spinach to the soup?

[@luchnit.9231]

I made your other white bean soup with kale (i used spinach) twice on meatless mondays and i love it.. I'll definitely try this one as well.. can i add a litle potatoe to it or don't.? Thanks

[@TheHappypippy]

It always throws me off hearing americans pronounce 'oregano' haha. Gonna try this lovely looking recipe this week, thanks for the video!

[@GusLikos-pz1cr]

Dimitra can you do the same thing with cooked chickpeas?

[@gerasimosmichalitsianos9684]

another recipe I tried used a large scoop of tomato paste instead of a large can of crushed tomatoes. Next time I'll definitely try what you say here with a large can of tomatoes.

[@tanvav]

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'm gonna make this since I gotten so many cans of beans like kidney red beans, black beans,, small white beans,, etc. Are they ok for me to use those? Stay safe!

[@DimitrasDishes]

Even though this soup is traditionally made with white beans, feel free to use whatever you have. That's my rule :) Enjoy! xx

[@laureljade3476]

I'm using chickpeas

[@nonarainer8926]

👍❤️

[@donitaforrest9064]

Question: i have been searching on Amazon for a fancy lid, 8 sided, turquoise enamel dutch oven/soup pot like yours, but can't find anything like it. Where (on earth) did you purchase it please? I love this Greek soup & will make it. Also ordering the organic beans from Amazon.

[@mkyoutubechanel5941]

👍👍👍

[@YummyFoodSecrets1]

😜❤💞💖🤝👍💖❤👌

[@janusgates2589]

from cans???? Soak them overnight.... Also dont cook it longer or add less broth, just add more beans :p

[@Cherrynukes1]

When will you be uploading your blooper video? Should be pretty funny

[@oreally8605]

Maybe a dollop of sour cream on top?

[@laner989]

No meat, ok I will add Lamb.

[@phillipsmom6252]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sylhomeo6351]

Salt, not sugar, de-acidifiés!

[@bentleygt3716]

cans?!!!. and more cans !!!. not a fan of cans. i like everything natural !...

[@icequeen8531]

All those canned beans or canned tomatoes are cancerous!

[@DimitrasDishes]

I always buy canned items that do not contain the BPA lining :)

[@icequeen8531]

Dimitra's Dishes Good! But all the canned food and processed meat contains nitrate which are very harmful to humans. Better not take the risk!

[@horatiutoderut]

If you do not like cannned, boil once a month different kind of beans and store it in small ziplock bags in freezer.
