This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I love the addition of the lemon and feta cheese. They give the soup a nice tangy flavor that really brightens it up.

This fasolada was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices or herbs. Overall, it was a decent soup, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used canned beans to save time, and the soup still had a lot of flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.

I'm not usually a fan of bean soups, but this fasolada changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the beans were tender. I especially liked the addition of the lemon and feta cheese, which gave the soup a nice tangy flavor.
