Fassoulada ( Greek Bean Soup ) Recipe

Fassoulada ( Greek Bean Soup ) Ingredients:

1 lb Dried navy beans
2 Onions, chopped
2 Celery stalks with leaves
- chopped
2 Carrots, scraped & diced
4 Sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup Chopped, drained tomatoes
1 Bay leaf
2 Sprigs fresh mint or thyme
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup Olive oil

Fassoulada ( Greek Bean Soup ) Preparation:

Wash beans and soak overnight in cold water. The next day, in a soup
kettle, bring the beans to a boil in the soaking water. Skim off the
foam, then add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer gently
until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. Serve hot. Note: Less
frequently, the soup is pureed through a sieve. Also, you may add the
herbs during the last hour or so of cooking, if you wish.
