This recipe is based on a few that I've made in the past and since the hubby and I are both sick today, it's also the easiest.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 pound escarole, chopped
- Salt
- 4 cups low-salt chicken broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (1-ounce) piece Parmesan
- 1 (14.5oz) can of diced tomatoes with Jalepenos
- ]Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Serving suggestion: crusty bread
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the escarole and saute until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Add the chicken broth, beans, and Parmesan cheese. Cover and simmer until the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil over each.
