ESCAROLE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP



Escarole and White Bean Soup image

This is a variation on a recipe from Lidia Bastianich. I added a few ingredients that my family loves and cut out a lot of fat. It was terrific when I made it for lunch the other day. If you cant find Aleppo pepper use crushed red pepper flakes. I love the fragrance that Aleppo pepper gives dishes though. If you used vegetable stock this would be a wonderful and filling vegetarian soup as well.

1 head escarole (1 pound), tough ribs discarded and leaves thinly sliced (8 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 large celery rib, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Cook escarole in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes, then transfer with slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain escarole in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess water.
