Love this soup have since my childhood, my mother would make this on Friday back then we didn’t eat meat on Friday. I still make it but not especially in Friday. Try it is delicious
This brings back childhood memories! I LOVE this soup and always have. My Nonno used to make this all the time. As for Erin S. Below. She actually made sausage & Kale soup. NOTHING like this.The slight and I mean “slight” bitterness of the escarole is part of what makes this soup so delicious so making this recipe AS IS is the best way to go. Authentic and delicious!
My FIL always make something similar he called “Greens and Beans.” He adds sausage to his so I do the same thing. I use turkey sausage. if you substitute kale, cook it a bit longer. That should get rid of any bitterness.
I couldn’t find escarole at our local grocery store, so I subbed kale. I also added 2 cans of rinsed beans. This was so incredibly fast and good! It just proves that you don’t need 50 ingredients for a recipe to be delicious. Even better the next day w/a little red-pepper flake. Yum!
The recipe was so easy and so simple. I thought it would be bland, but that little bit of parmesan makes the difference. The soup is elegant and wonderful and great with toasted bread.
I added some baby bella mushrooms and it was delicious!
I have made this soup literally 100 times. I probably make it every other week. It is sooooo delicious. I add a cup or so of pasta to it and put a lot of grated parm on top of every serving. So yummy! Really comforting.
Love this recipe. To make it a little heartier I made mini meatballs and added them to the soup. Delicious!!
