Albanian white-bean soup slowly simmered with onion, butter, tomato paste, parsley and paprika.

About Jani me Fasule
Jani me Fasule is a traditional Albanian white-bean soup with household and regional variations. This profile fixes the butter-and-paprika branch, distinguishing it from olive-oil-and-mint neighbouring forms.
White beans become creamy and earthy through long simmering, while butter and onion add mellow richness. Tomato paste and sweet paprika bring warm colour and gentle sweetness, with parsley and mixed chilli providing herbal freshness and restrained heat.
The soup is thick and rustic, with whole tender white beans suspended in a brick-red broth. Small green parsley flecks and softened onion remain visible rather than being blended smooth.
