Recipe Details:
Tasty, aromatic, hearty, and diabetic-friendly Greek Fasolada soup will satisfy your family and guests.
Step 1 In the evening, put the beans in a sauce pan, cover them with boiling water and leave overnight. That will make the beans swell, which will reduce the cooking time significantly. Step 2 In the morning, rinse the beans in water, cover them with boiling water again, add dried thyme and bay leaves. Boil for 1 to 1.5 hours until tender, but make sure not to overcook the beans. Step 3 Fry the diced onions for 2 minutes in a frying pan in vegetable oil until golden brown. Step 4 Add the carrot to the onion and fry for 2 more minutes. Step 5 Add the tomatoes to the frying pan along with the minced garlic, salt and sweetener. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Step 6 Add the beans to the frying pan, using a slotted spoon to remove them from the broth. Step 7 Add the celery and simmer the dish for another 5 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!
