🍲 Ingredients
Beans – One of the key ingredients in this fasolada recipe is the beans! You’ll want to use either cannellini or kidney beans for this recipe as they’ll hold the best texture in the soup. Beans are so good for you and are a source of plant-based fiber and protein. Olive Oil – You won’t find many Greek recipes that don’t include olive oil in them and that’s because it is such a staple in the Mediterranean diet. It adds flavor to this fasolada, but also nutritional benefits such as keeping your heart healthy.
👩🍳 How to Make Fasolada
🪄 Tips and Tricks
Beans: You can definitely use dried beans for this soup, you’ll just need to plan this a bit as you want to soak the beans overnight in water for at least 8 hours. This may increase the cooking time as well Toppings: The toppings are optional, and you can feel free to add whatever you like, however, I highly encourage you to use them because they really complement the soup
🗒 Substitutions
Beans: You can really use ANY beans you have here. Chickpeas, kidney beans, white beans, red beans, anything will work in this recipe Mirepoix: Carrots, onions, and celery make mirepoix, and are the base for a lot of recipes and soups, however, you can totally swap any of these veggies with sweet peppers, or even potatoes if you want a bit of a heartier soup Stock: We used veggie stock to keep this recipe vegetarian, but you could totally use chicken or beef stock if that’s all you have
