The biggest bean soup was cooked in the Macedonian village of Sarchievo near Shtip. The dish was entered in the Guinness Book of Records.

Curiously, however, the record-breaking village consists of only four houses, and its inhabitants are exactly nine people.

Bean soup is 3150 kilograms. In the huge cauldron boiled 2600 liters of water, 400 kilograms of beans, 200 kilograms of bacon, 70 liters of butter, 40 kilograms of onions, 9 kilograms of salt, 8 kilograms of red pepper, 4 kilograms of ground black pepper, 1.5 kilograms of black peppercorns and a hundred bunches of parsley.

According to chef Ljupcho Gievski, the recipe for bean soup is 2,000 years old. "This is a Macedonian recipe. Such a bean was eaten by Alexander the Great himself in the past," Gievski told A1 TV.

"I officially announce that the record has been improved. I was guided by my rules. Together with the chef and his team I checked the beans and I can say that the record has been officially improved," said Ginev judge Pari Kavara. The ceremony was part of the consecration of St. Petka Church, which was built above Sarchievo.

So far, the record was held by students from America, who in 2002 cooked 1,300 liters of bean soup.

Incidentally, beans and potatoes were brought to Europe from America by the expeditions of Christopher Columbus in the XV-XVI centuries, and Alexander the Great lived in the IV century BC.
