Fassoulatha White Bean Soup

Soups

Also known as fasolada, this simple, rich stew is popular in Greek cuisine. Featuring a medley of white beans, tomatoes, carrots and celery, this fragrant stew is perfect for cooler weather.

Ingredients

1 pound dried white beans, soaked overnight
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely chopped
1 quart water
2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and mashed, or 1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Description

Drain beans and cook them, covered, in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Saute onions, celery and carrots for 3 to 5 minutes. Add water, the cooked beans, tomatoes, oregano, salt, cayenne and pepper. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
