Made fasolada with a side of triscuits. Happy with how this turned out vs the last time I made this dish.

    **Ingredients:**

    * 1 lb of Great Northern Beans
    * 2 to 3 carrots, sliced
    * 2 to 3 celery stalks, chopped
    * 1 large onion, finely chopped
    * 8 oz can of tomato sauce
    * EVOO – 2 to 3 TBS and to your preference
    * Salt – about 1 TSP or your preference
    * Bay Leaves – 1 to 2
    * Pepper – about 1 TSP or your preference
    * Dried oregano (Greek if possible), to your taste
    * bunch of fresh parsley, chopped up
    * enough water to cover beans in both steps

    **Instructions**

    Part 1 – cooking the beans

    * Soak beans overnight. I add some salt to the soaking solution and make sure the water is covering the beans by 3 inches
    * Drain and rinse off beans.
    * Put beans in a 5 qt dutch oven, add enough water to cover the beans
    * Add 1 to 2 bay leaves and a little salt if you wish
    * Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 30 min.
    * Drain and set aside

    Part 2 – making the soup

    * In a dutch oven or soup pot, add 2 to 3 TBL of olive oil and set heat to medium on range top.
    * Add the carrots, celery and onions and sautee until the onions are translucent and you have a little bit of tenderness to the carrots and celery
    * Add the tomato sauce and sautee for a couple of minutes. Note, thinking of ditching the sauce and adding about 2 – 3 oz of tomato paste to get a better tomato flavor by sauteeing with the veggies
    * Add the semi-cooked beans and mix
    * Add enough water to just cover the beans and veggies – maybe a half inch of water to cover beans and veggies
    * Add salt, pepper and dried oregano
    * Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 min. Note, I’d recommend adding hot water from a kettle.
    * Add fresh parsley at the end and cooked a min or 2 longer.
    * Check your beans and veggies and cook a little longer if they aren’t done to your liking.

    I LOVE fasolada and so does my family. I use a different recipe, but yours looks amazing, so I think I will combine the 2 and try something new! Thank you so much for sharing!
