    Fasolatha (Greek Bean Soup),The Fasolatha (bean soup) Festival, originated in Florina, Macedonia, Greece, and is now a major cultural event in many Greek communities across the world. In the Northern hemisphere, the religious festival is traditionally observed near the start of winter – on St. Nicholas Day (during his lifetime he was known for giving sustenance to the poor). Food is a major part of the festival. Apart from Fasolatha (bean soup), Olives, Renga (smoked herring) freshly baked Florinian Bread (Pogatsa) Gyros, Souvlaki, Kebabs, and Loukoumathes (honey cinnamon – soaked donuts) are also served. Fasolatha is one of the heartiest dishes on the Greek vegetarian table, and a Lenten mainstay. ,Soaked my beans all night and followed instructions. I simmered for an hour… Beans are still hard 5 hours later still simmering. Help!!,You should replace the tomato sauce with about half a can of tomato paste instead. I am Greek and my whole family uses tomato paste not sauce.
