A quick modern spin on a Greek household favorite.
If you’re looking for a QUICK delicious, nutritious soup this winter, say no more, you will love this Greek white bean soup. Traditionally, the soup does not have spicy heat, garlic or wine. We also don’t puree a portion of it – and instead leave it to have more of a soup consistency. But what a game changer that is. If you’re a fan of chili, this will certainly satiate you.

Creamy + Spicy Fasolada (White Bean Soup)
My spicy fasolada is a quick modern spin on a Greek household favorite.
Ingredients
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 medium onion,, diced
- 2 large carrots,, diced
- 2 large celery stalks,, diced
- 4 cloves garlilc,, minced
- 1 heaping tbs tomato paste
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian Herb Seasoning
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- black pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup (80 g) dry white wine
- 45 oz (1.28 kg) cannellini beans, (3 cans drained + rinsed)
- 3 cups (0.71 l) low sodium vegetable broth, (or chicken)
- 1 large handful baby spinach
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat your olive oil on medium. Add in the onions, celery and carrots and saute until they soften – about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Pop in the tomato paste and seasonings and give it a stir to coat everything. Add in the wine and cook for 1 minutes. Next add in the beans and the broth. Bring it to boil and then lower the heat to simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes.
- Transfer about 1½ cups of the soup to a small blender and puree until smooth. Pour that back into your soup along with the baby spinach and stir to combine and wilt.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

I can’t have wine 🙁
Can I sub something for the dry white wine?
Want to make it right now, looks so good!
more chicken or vegetable broth.
Very good bean soup
Thanks
This has become a favorite weekly recipe for our family. We all love it so much. Easy, affordable, filling and packed with nutrients. A small salad and a piece of bread make a fantastic meal. Thank you!!
Really delicious! I’ll make a double batch next time. I didn’t have dry white wine, so I subbed equal parts apple cider vinegar and water to equal the 1/3 cup called for in the recipe. Used less salt (blood pressure), and squeezed half a lemon straight into the soup. It’s definitely a keeper :). Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Absolutely wonderful! I’ve made this soup as well as many other Stella recipes and every one of them have been fabulous! Thank you, Stella!
Loved this recipe! My immersion blender made step 2 even easier. I added the juice of 1/2 a lemon at the very end with the spinach (with the heat off). Next time I might try adding greek sausage or chorizo for some extra protein and spice! Thank you for the great recipe!
Absolutely delicious. The only change I made when cooking it for the second time – halved chili flakes amount.
HI Anya, thanks for trying it out! I’m so glad the recipe was emjoyed!
Can I use one can cannelini, one can red kidney beans and one northern beans? I have that in my cupboard! Looks delish!
Hi Lou, absolutely all beans work here!
delicious as per recipe – will make again, using fresh oregano, thyme and Rosemary for dried Italian herbs. Crusty garlic sourdough bread for cleaning the bowl! yum.
This soup is delicious! I was pleasantly surprised – the spicy flavor and creaminess of the beans is 5/5! Will definitely make again.
This far surpassed my expectations for such a simple recipe – tasted exactly like my yiayia’s used to (which I don’t have a recipe for!) Easy to make, nutritious and filling – what more could you ask for. So happy I stumbled across this, thanks Stella!
Delicious! The flavors are amazing especially with the squeeze of lemon at the end! Thank you for such a winner of a recipe.
Hi Linda, I’m so glad you liked the soup recipe! Thanks for trying it out!

Hi Maria, thanks for trying out the soupo!
Can you make this in a soup maker. I’m UK based if that makes a difference.
HI Mags, I havent tried it but it should work!
I could not wait until the fall to make this again! I always double the recipe so I have enough for lunch all week, and for some to freeze. I also add zucchini. It’s so good. Love it!
