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.

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. Add in garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant.

Toss in escarole along with 1/2 cup of broth, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well, pop on a lid, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove the lid, pour in the beans and the liquid from the can along with the remaining chicken broth. Simmer for 10-15 more minutes, or until the greens have wilted down and are tender.

Ladle into your favorite bowl and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
