White Bean and Escarole Soup

My friend Pam came by on Sunday night and she brought me a gift. A jar of her delicious, homemade White Bean and Escarole soup. I love escarole and it's jam-packed with great nutrients.

Here's her recipe:

Ingredients
1 medium chopped onion
5 cloves of garlic chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek cleaned and chopped
1 32 oz can of plum tomatoes
1 can or organic white beans (drained and washed)
½ head chopped escarole
4 chicken or vegetable Knorr vegetable bouillon packets (powder)
Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Add enough good water to cover

Sautee onions, garlic and leeks in olive oil until golden brown. Add tomatoes, canned beans, chopped escarole. Cook until escarole is done – maybe about 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over soup when done. Delicious!
