This is one of our favorite soups and it is so easy to make.
Mince 4-6 cloves of garlic, chop 1 medium onion, and cut 1/4 lb. of pancetta into small pieces.
Saute garlic and pancetta in 2 Tbsp. olive oil for 1-2 minutes.
Add onion and saute for 3 more minutes.
Chop 1 head of escarole into small pieces and saute until wilted.
Add 2 cans of cannelinni beans and 1 quart of chicken stock and about 1/8 tsp. of nutmeg and simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve with grated reggiano parmegiana cheese and crusty bread.
Enjoy!

Oh, that looks yummy! Not too heavy either, just right for spring!

YUM! this reminds me of one of the soups served at The Olive Garden (Do you guys have Olive Garden over there?).
ReplyDeleteLisa, yes we have Olive Gardens here. I like them but we don't get there very often.
