Preparation of Bean and Mussel Soup
To begin, carefully clean the mussels by removing the outer beard and the byssus. Rinse them under running water and dry them on a cloth.

When the mussels have opened well, filter the sauce and return it to the pot. Add the pre-cooked beans, season with salt and leave to dry for 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, grill two slices of bread and cut them into cubes, or fry the latter in a drizzle of seed oil until you get crunchy croutons.
Now add two peeled tomatoes and the chopped parsley to the pan. Lower the heat and let the sauce infuse for a few minutes before serving. Your bean and mussel soup is finally ready. Serve by adding the croutons and serve immediately. A simple recipe to make but to be savored, full of flavors and aromas.
