Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup is made by simmering beans and cracked wheat until tender, then combining them with an olive-oil-based onion mixture. Cook the beans and wheat separately if they need different cooking times, then bring them together and adjust the soup’s thickness.
Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup is built around beans, cracked wheat, olive oil, and water or broth. Onion is a common addition, while tomato paste and herbs vary by recipe. The wheat gives the soup a hearty texture that distinguishes it from a simple bean soup.
The wheat in Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup is usually dövme: wheat kernels with the outer husk removed and the grain cracked. It is not the same as fine bulgur, and it can take longer to soften. Rinsing and, if needed, soaking it helps it cook evenly.
Yes, canned beans work in Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup and make preparation quicker. Drain and rinse them, then add them after the wheat is nearly tender so they do not fall apart during a long simmer. You may need to adjust the liquid and seasoning.
Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup includes cracked wheat and is served as a soup, while Turkish kuru fasulye is typically a thicker bean stew made without wheat. Both can use beans and a savory onion base, but their texture and usual place in a meal differ.
Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup is generally served warm or hot, like many Turkish bean-and-grain soups. It thickens as it stands, so loosen leftovers with a little water when reheating. A squeeze of lemon at the table can brighten the olive-oil flavor.
Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup can be served with a simple salad, bread, or pickles. Because the soup already contains both beans and wheat, it can also stand on its own as a filling meal. Lemon or fresh herbs make a fresh contrast to its hearty texture.
Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat. The wheat absorbs liquid as it sits, so stir in water if the soup has become too thick.
Yes, Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup can be frozen, although the wheat may soften and the texture may become thicker after thawing. Cool it, portion it into airtight containers, and thaw it in the refrigerator. Add water while reheating to restore a soup-like consistency.
To thicken Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup, simmer it uncovered until some liquid evaporates, or mash a portion of the beans into the broth. The cracked wheat also thickens the soup as it cooks and rests, so add liquid gradually if it becomes too dense.

Olive Oil Bean and Wheat Soup is a Turkish home-style soup made with beans, dövme—coarsely cracked, hulled wheat—and olive oil. The wheat thickens the broth and gives it a pleasantly substantial, grainy texture.
Served hot, it brings together tender beans, chewy grains and the rounded flavour of olive oil. In Turkey it can be a simple lunch or supper, served on its own or with bread; a fresh salad makes an easy accompaniment elsewhere too. The beans and wheat contribute fibre and plant protein, while olive oil provides mostly monounsaturated fat. For a lighter meal, serve a modest bowl with plenty of salad rather than adding extra bread.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
