Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 pounds escarole, chopped
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons Locatelli cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3 chicken breasts, split into 6 pieces
3 stalks celery
4 carrots, peeled
1 dozen large eggs
4 to 5 ounces Locatelli cheese
Salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the core of the escarole, wash it and then place it in a pot with a couple cups of water to steam it. While escarole is steaming, put the meat in a bowl and cover it lightly with a layer of garlic salt, layer of black pepper and 2 layers of cheese. Then, add a layer of breadcrumbs and 1 egg. Mix well. Roll the mixture into 1/2-inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the cooked meatballs from the oven and place them in a brown paper bag with a paper towel. Shake the bag a few times to eliminate excess grease. Drain the steamed escarole and chop it. After chopping the escarole, drain it again.
  • Fill a 16 quart stock pot a little more than halfway with cold water. Add chicken, celery, carrots and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on medium heat for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, skimming the top of the pot every 15 minutes or so. Be careful not to add too much salt to the soup until it is finished because the escarole, eggs and cheese have salt in them. After cooking, remove the chicken from the broth and let cool. Turn the stove up to high and bring the broth to a boil. Once the broth comes to a boil, add the escarole and the meatballs. Stir until completely mixed. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. Bring soup back to a boil. In a bowl, mix together the eggs and cheese with a wire whisk. Slowly stir the egg/cheese mixture into the boiling soup. Reseason if necessary. Cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let it sit for 15 minutes prior to serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bitter. I think I may have added too much escarole.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of escarole, but this soup was surprisingly good. The escarole added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the carrots and onions.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours.

I added some kale to this soup and it was delicious. I also used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

This soup is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love the combination of escarole, potatoes, and sausage.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The escarole adds a slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with the sweet carrots and onions.

This escarole soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the escarole was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
