निर्देश

In a bowl, add the beans and fill it with enough water to completely cover them.

Add 1 levelled teaspoon of salt and gently stir. Allow them to soak for 8-12 hours.

When ready, drain and wash them well with very cold water.

Drain again and set aside.

Chop the celery into 1-2 cm pieces and chop the carrots into 1-2 cm rounds.

Coarsely chop the onion and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Place a pot over medium heat and immediately add the olive oil and vegetables, without letting the pot get hot.

Sauté for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables soften while stirring occasionally.

When all of the juices have evaporated and the vegetables have softened, add the tomato paste and sauté for 1 minute while stirring.

Add the beans, bay leaves, rosemary, bouillon cube and the apple, whole. Adding the apple whole will help the soup thicken better. It will be removed when the soup is done.

Add the water and cover the pot.

Simmer for 1 – 1 ½ hours.

Check on the soup from time to time in case a little more water needs to be added. If you do add more water make sure it is boiling so that the boiling process is not interrupted.

About 10 minutes before the soup is done, add salt and pepper and cover with lid again.

When ready, remove from heat, remove the apple from the pot and discard.

Serve soup by adding some chili flakes, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve along with feta, anchovies, olives, thyme and olive oil.
