Heat the oil and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the beans and pour in the vegetable stock. Add the ajvar (note: there are mild and hot ajvars—I find the mild one is perfectly fine here) and the oregano. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the crème fraîche and season the soup with salt, pepper, and (if desired) Tabasco. Sprinkle with some fresh greens like parsley or oregano before serving. Tip: The cream can also be replaced with coconut milk, which is also delicious.
