You don't have to soak the beans overnight for this fasolada (bean soup). So that makes it a very quick recipe to make.

Steps

1

Place the beans in a pot with cold water that covers them (about two fingers over the beans). Boil for 10 minutes (from the moment they start boiling) over moderate heat.
2

The beans will float to the surface. Turn off the heat and wait for 30 minutes, they will puff up and settle down to the bottom.
3

While you are waiting, prepare your vegetables. Heat some water in the kettle.
4

Strain the beans and discard their water.
5

Place the beans, the vegetables and the oil in the pot.
6

Add piping hot water until you cover them (two fingers over the beans) and simmer for about an hour or until the beans are tender.
7

Season with salt, add the sauce or the tomato paste and the red pepper. Continue boiling for a little longer until the food gets a bit mushy.
8

If you are in a hurry, leave the lid off for a while. This helps it get mushy faster.

Serve and enjoy!!!
