Ingredients

• 250 grams Dried white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
• 1.5 liters Vegetable stock
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried white beans thoroughly under cold water. Place them in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight (approximately 8 hours).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release its flavor.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, bay leaf, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the soaked and drained beans to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or a side of olives for a complete meal.
