Greek Bean Soup “Fasolada” Recipe

|

Fasolada is one of the popular soups of Greek and Cypriot cuisine. This dish goes well with fresh bread and olives. The Greeks call beans “caviar of the poor.” But even after ceasing to be poor, the Greeks could not get rid of their favorite legumes. Very tasty, hearty and nutritious soup. And, of course, very healthy! Fasolada is not as simple as it may seem at first glance. The soup turns out to be a bit troublesome, but the effort is worth it! There are four recipes on the site with the name fasolada. Two of them are cooked with meat or meat products, but fasolada is a lean soup. The other two differ in composition. It seems that the beans, like the soup, each family has its own. I offer you my own version.
