JANI ME FASULE (ALBANIAN BEAN SOUP)
A traditional white bean soup that is usually served with a salad and a loaf of crusty bread. This is an adaptation of a recipe found in an Albanian cookbook given to me by friends in Tirana and suggestions from same friends. TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE OVERNIGHT BEAN SOAKING

Steps:
- 1. Soak the dried bean in water overnight.
- 2. Drain the beans, rinse, and boil in plenty of water for 15 minutes, covered. Drain again and discard the water.
- 3. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven. Sweat the onions and garlic over low heat, then add all the other ingredients EXCEPT the lemon juice, mint and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook at high heat for 3 minutes.
- 4. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until beans are tender (about an hour). Add more broth/water if necessary.
- 5. Serve hot with lemon juice, mint and parsley. Drizzle a bit of good quality olive oil, if desired. A good crusty bread is excellent with this soup.
