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: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/fasolada-in-30-minutes-express-greek-white-bean-soup/
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.

Dimitra can you do the same thing with cooked chickpeas?

I love enjoying Fasolata during Lent and fasting periods!
My favorite soup.
My Greek Grandma used to make this. It was my favourite. My Grandad used to say "it could warm the cobbles of your heart"
great for lent..fabulous!!!
that looks amazing love bean soups!
Hi Dimitra , my grandmothers name. I love this dish, my mother makes for me when I visit here in Perth , but now I can make it which i have done twice in a week love it so easy
Nice, Chef!!!!
We are greek from Kos and this is our soup for Lent !! My mother makes it every year and it's so tasty- quality extra virgin olive oil is key- provides that zing in the taste
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.
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.
So yummy I will do thank you for lesson. 🙏❤️👍🏻
This looks so delicious!
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
Hi Dimitra can i add frozen spinach to the soup?
I will make this soup this coming week! Thanks for the tip on freezing leftovers, great for when the company shows up.
I'm using chickpeas
Salt, not sugar, de-acidifiés!
from cans???? Soak them overnight…. Also dont cook it longer or add less broth, just add more beans :p
I'm gonna make it for kathara deftera!!! Thanks for these quick versions 🙂
Thank you for another fantastic vegetarian recipe!
