This variation on a traditional Greek bean soup is light yet satisfying. Aromatics give the Fasolada a strong foundational flavor which is then built upon with chicken broth, tomatoes and cannellini beans.

Join the discussionHow many cups of dried beans does it take to make 5.5 cups cooked beans?
If you’re using canned beans, you would approximate that 44 oz of canned beans would be needed to make 5.5 cups of cooked beans. Dried beans expand when you soak them and then cook them, so a general rule for dried beans is 1 cup of dried beans to every 2-3 cups of cooked beans.
