my very special greek beansoup

Based on my mum's recipie, this dish was very popular in the 2nd WW, also referred to 'food for the poor', as it only contains vegetables. My very own and very fit recipie is an improved version by adding more of everything for the same portion. My english close friends who tried it have all at different occasions asked me for the recipie..and that is a fact.

Let's start then:

2 cups of dried kidney beans (to be soaked in water overnight)
4 large carrots
1 large onion
1 batch of fresh celery
1 cup of olive oil
2 tins of canned tomatoes

Boil the beans, after they've been soaked ovenight,in a large pot, until they are very,very,very soft
.Try and take out the foam while they are boiling. Add water as they boil too. All you need to make sure is to have 2/3 of the pot with the beans and the water before you start adding the vegs.Pour a cup of olive oil and the grated onion while its still boiling. Follow up with the chopped into rounds carrots and the cut into small pieces celery. Add two tins of canned tomatoes, season well , try and taste half way. Add water if need throughout, but this soup should be thick when cooked. It normally takes an hour on high boil for the vegs to mix in and deliver this fantastic hot soup which can be enjoyed with lots of fresh bread and feta cheese. My mother in law likes to put pieces of bread and feta cheese on the served bowl of soup and eat..carefully as its HOT. Perfect as a winter meal..xxx
