Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low-sodium low-fat vegetable broth
1 small carrot, diced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes with juice, diced
1/4 cup reduced-sodium ham, diced
3/4 cup angel hair pasta or 3/4 cup pastina
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (rub between fingers to waken flavor)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can white kidney beans, rinshed and drained
4 cups escarole, roughly chopped (Other choices ( dandelion greens, mustard greens or spinach)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven over a medium-high flame, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic. Saute until the onions are soft and translucent, and the garlic begins to "dance".
  • To the onion and garlic add the broth and the carrots; bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes - or until the carrots are almost tender.
  • Stir in the tomatoes with juice, ham, orzo (or your choice), red pepper, black pepper, and water. Increase the heat to medium high and return to a simmer. Cook until pasta is tender (about 5 minutes). Add white beans and escarole; cover and cook - stirring often - until escarole is tender and the flavors blend (approximately another 5 minutes). Ladle into warmed soup bowls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. A freshly tossed salad and warm crusty bread makes this meal complete!

This was a great soup! I made it for my family last night and they all loved it. The flavors were so well-balanced and the escarole added a nice bitterness that really complemented the sweetness of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this soup

This was a great way to use up some leftover escarole. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and it turned out really well. I served it with a side of Parmesan cheese and it was a hit!

This was a great soup! I used canned tomatoes and white beans, and it still turned out really flavorful. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less salt. The flavor was good, but it was just a bit too salty for me.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more liquid. The flavor was good, but it was just a bit too heavy for me.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices or herbs. The escarole was also a bit too bitter for my liking.

This soup was surprisingly good! I'm not usually a fan of escarole, but it really worked in this soup. The white beans added a nice creaminess and the tomatoes gave it a beautiful color. I will definitely be making this soup again.
