Creamy and Spicy Fasolada (Greek White Bean Soup)
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)
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 dry white wine
- 45 oz cannellini beans (3 cans drained + rinsed)
- 3 cups 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.

Hi Sherley, awesome! glad you liked it!
Can I just say, this was the perfect length of an intro to a recipe. It gave me just enough to learn about the dish without adding in so much detail. It was warm, inviting, and to-the-point.
Hi Blair, thanks so much for the kind feedback!
This is excellent! The texture reminds me of split pea soup, so I think next time I’ll add in some cubed ham! It was even great as lunch today. Thank you!
Hi Mary, I think the ham is a great idea! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
I made this tonight and it was so delicious! My husband loved it as well! I used chicken bone broth and poured it over red potatoes.
HI STacey, Sounds delicious with the bone broth and potatoes! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
I’m in the process of making this-how much does 2 large carrots yield? I have some measly looking carrots and don’t want to skimp! Same for the celery. Not sure if I should aim for 1 cup diced, 1.5 cups or even more!! Thanks!
Do you need to add the wine?
you can skip it! Add in a little more broth if needed.
I didn’t use wine….I didn’t have any on hand. But OMG amazing turnout!
