Bean Jahni Soup Recipe

Bean Jahni soup – Albanian cuisine

Winter is soup season in our house. A cup of soup at our local cafe is between $3.50 and $4.50. This recipe lets you make 4 servings for no more than $2.00

Preparation Time: 35 minutes (canned beans) or 2 hours (dry)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of white beans (dry or canned)
• 1 chopped onion
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• salt to taste
• chili powder to taste

Directions:

1. If you are using canned beans, skip this step. Boil your beans in hot water for 5 minutes. Rinse and boil for another 20 minutes
2. Saute onions in olive oil until caramelized. Add parsley, chili powder and the water from the canned beans (if you cooked beans, use two spoons of bean stock). Cook for ten minutes
3. Add everything, including the beans in a pot and allow it to simmer for 1 hours
