Greek White Bean Fasolatha Soup Recipe (Vegan, Gluten Free)

This fasolatha soup is a simple and protein packed blend of white beans, tomatoes, veggies, olive oil, and spices. Light and satisfying!

I am in full soup-mode this fall, and this fasolatha soup is a total bowl of vegan comfort food! I love making large batches of soup to meal prep for the week.  Cook once, portion into airtight containers (we use mason jars), and lunch is ready in just a few minutes.

This Greek Fasolatha Soup Is:

• Hearty
• Bright
• Versatile
• Packed with Flavor
• Earthy
• Creamy
• Vegan, Gluten Free
• A great lunch or dinner soup recipe

What’s In This Fasolatha Soup Recipe?

• White Beans: you can use navy or cannellini beans, just make sure they are cooked and not dried.
• Carrots: for some color and sweetness
• Celery: for a bright fresh crunch
• Tomato Paste: for an amazing tomato-y depth of flavor
• Water or Vegetable Stock: if you use vegetable stock, make sure it is low sodium.

How Do I Make This Vegan Fatolatha Soup Recipe?

1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the carrots, celery, and zucchini, and saute for 7-8 minutes over low heat to soften the vegetables.  Add the tomato paste, garlic salt, water/vegetable stock, paprika, ground cumin, and oregano.
2. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer the soup for about 20 minutes until carrots and zucchini are tender.
3. Add the beans and fresh lemon juice to the soup, and stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes more over low heat.
4. Once ready to serve, drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top for a lush velvety finish.

A Note On Cooking Beans

I almost never use canned beans in my recipes, as I prefer to cook them from scratch. While canned beans are super convenient, they are often loaded with sodium.  If you buy canned beans, I’d recommend using a no salt added variety instead.

I like to cook dried beans becuase they are easy to cook (epecially in the Instant Pot), are incredibly cost efficient, and I can add seasoning or flavors to the beans while they cook.
