My grandmother learned to make this delicious soup while living in Greece. I love fasolada because it's easy, cheap to make, and great for feeding large groups.

Greek Bean Soup

pinto beans

olive oil, divided

celery

onion,

garlic cloves,

(12 ounce) can chopped tomatoes

parsley,

dill weed

oregano

basil

salt and black pepper

white sugar

Place beans in a large bowl or pot and cover with fresh water. Allow to soak 8 hours to overnight.


Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy soup pot. Cook celery and onion until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.


Drain beans and add to the pot with the onion mixture. Cover with 2 inches of cold water and add tomatoes, parsley, dill, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and cook until beans are soft, checking every 15 to 20 minutes and adding water as necessary, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.


Add remaining 1/4 cup olive oil to the soup and season with salt, pepper, and sugar.


4.10.20  Followed the recipe with the exception of using fire roasted tomatoes, what I had on hand.  Simple ingredients for a warm, comforting, and flavorful soup.  In the future, I may substitute some of the water with vegetable stock, but other than that, wouldn’t change a thing.   I also will make this in my Instant Pot® next time to reduce the cooking time and no presoaking beans.  Thanks for sharing your grandmother’s recipe, it’s a good one.
