Ingredients

  • 250 g navy beans, soaked overnight
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 400 g canned tomatoes, crushed
  • 1 liter vegetable broth
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened, enhancing the base flavor.

  2. Add the soaked navy beans, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. Adjust seasoning to taste. If the soup seems too thick, add a bit more broth or water for the desired consistency.

  4. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness.

Why this works

Fasolada's rich flavor comes from the combination of sautéed vegetables and the slow simmering of navy beans with tomatoes and spices. The key technique here is building a flavor base through initial sautéing, which allows the onion and garlic to release their natural sweetness, while the vegetables soften to create a harmonious blend. The navy beans are a perfect protein source, and their creaminess enhances the stew's texture. If the soup becomes too thick during cooking, simply add more broth or water to reach the desired consistency. This adaptability allows the soup to remain enjoyable without losing its core flavors, ensuring a satisfying meal regardless of minor variations in ingredient amounts. Additionally, the parsley garnish brightens the dish and adds a fresh contrast to the rich stew.
