Tips:
- Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours helps reduce cooking time and makes them more digestible.
- Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans, such as cannellini, navy, or black beans, for a more flavorful soup.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil before adding them to the soup helps bring out their flavor and adds depth to the soup.
- Use a flavorful broth: Use a good-quality vegetable or chicken broth for the soup base. This will add a lot of flavor to the soup.
- Season the soup to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. This will help bring out the flavors of the soup.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: A bowl of white bean soup with escarole is perfect for a cold day, and it's even better when served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
