Escarole and White Bean Soup (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I made this super easy soup for dinner tonight and it

was wonderful. So quick and tasty.

 

Escarole and White Bean Soup

 

1 head escarole, cleaned and chopped into bite-size

pieces

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic

1 tsp. oregano

1/4 tsp. dried red pepper flakes

7 cups vegetable broth

4 cups cooked white beans (i used 2 cans of navy

beans)

parmesan cheese

 

Cook the escarole in boiling water for 5 minutes to

remove the bitter taste. Drain. Meanwhile, heat the

olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat and saute the

garlic until fragrant, but not browned. Add oregano

and red pepper flakes and stir a few seconds. Add

broth, beans, and escarole and bring to a boil. Turn

off heat and serve soup. Pass the parmesan cheese for

sprinkling on top of the soup.
