EASY ITALIAN COMFORT FOOD | escarole and beans soup recipe

Escarole and beans (aka Scarola e Fagioli) is an easy, Italian comfort food at its best! This is a simple, comforting, classic Italian dish that comes together quickly and will warm your soul from the inside out. I love to serve this topped with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes along with some crusty sourdough bread on the side. If you want to keep this meal 100% plant-based, sub in vegetable broth for the chicken broth. 👉🏻 Sign up for my emails (& never miss a recipe!): 📚 Order my Clean & Delicious Cookbook: 🖨 PRINT RECIPE: ☀️ Grab my FREE 3-part, mind-body weight loss video training: 🍲 Favorite Foods & Kitchen Tools: Lodge Dutch Oven: My Kitchen Knife: Favorite Sea Salt: 💛 Let's Connect: Website: Instagram: Facebook: Pinterest: Twitter: TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Escarole and Beans - A classic Italian soup 0:30 Working and preparing your escarole 1:54 Preparing the ingredients 2:51 Heating up your olive oil in your pot 3:00 I love this Dutch oven from Lodge 3:23 Adding your garlic and red pepper flakes (optional) 3:52 Adding the escarole, seasonings, and 1/2 the broth 4:28 Adding the white beans and remaining broth 5:14 Finishing with Parmesan cheese 5:27 Enjoy 6:03 Thanks for watching, let me know what you think ESCAROLE & BEANS 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 6 cloves garlic chopped Pinch of red pepper flakes 1 lb. escarole washed and chopped 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth (can swap veggie broth) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1-15 ounce can of Cannellini beans sea salt and pepper to taste parmesan cheese for topping Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
