White Bean Soup with Escarole




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
4 cups broth
2 cans (16-ounce each) white cannellini beans, drained
4 fresh sage leaves, cut into chiffonade
8 ounces escarole or romaine lettuce, cut into chiffonade
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
salt and pepper


Recipe



Heat broth in a 4 quart saucepan. Add onion and carrots, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until tender.

Add the garlic and saute for a moment.

Add 1 of the cans of beans and mash with a potato masher.

Add the other can of beans along with the broth and bring to a simmer with the sage. Simmer 10 minutes or until as thick as you like it. If too thick, add more water; if too thin, boil down until some of the liquid has evaporated.

Stir the escarole or romaine lettuce into the pot, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until lettuce is tender.

Uncover, add parsley and adjust seasoning. Serve with bread and salad for a complete meal.
