Fasolada, fasoulada or sometimes Fasolia meaning beans. Greek words (Greek: φασολάδα, φασουλάδα or φασολια, sometimes written fassolada or fassoulada) is a Greek and Cypriot soup of dry white beans, olive oil, and vegetables, sometimes called the "national food of the Greeks".[1]

The Arabic version is called fasoulia and is found in Iraq, Egypt, Yemen and the Levant (Arabic: فاصوليا‎). In Turkish cuisine, it is Turkish: kuru fasulye.



Unlike the Italian fagiolata, the Brazilian and Portuguese feijoada, Romanian fasole and the Spanish fabada, fasolada does not contain meat.
