Fasolada, a Greek bean soup with white beans, vegetables, herbs, and olive oil, symbolizes Greek culinary heritage and simplicity.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
Start by soaking the dried beans overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse the beans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Saut\u00e9 them until they become tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Add the minced garlic and continue to saut\u00e9 for another minute or until fragrant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Stir in the tomato paste and bay leaf. Cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Add the drained beans to the pot, and pour in the hot water. Bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until the beans are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and check for consistency; if the soup gets too thick, you can add more hot water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. The soup is now ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Remove the bay leaf and discard it<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
To serve, ladle the fasolada into bowls and garnish it with freshly chopped parsley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Fasolada is traditionally enjoyed with a slice of crusty bread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[149],"class_list":{"0":"post-7588","1":"cp_recipe","2":"type-cp_recipe","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"cp_recipe_category-main-course"},"yoast_head":"\n
