From my favorite chef, Rachael Ray. Yum-O! A great combination of flavors. Don’t omit the nutmeg. It is the best part. You can also try this with other greens; spinach, kale, arugula… Add sliced mushrooms with the sautéed onions if you’d like. Grate some Parmesan cheese over the top and serve with crusty bread.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 lb pancetta or 1/4 lb bacon, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 onion, diced
1 head escarole, chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
16 ounces water
1 (16 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
Directions:
1. Over med-high heat, sauté the pancetta in the oil. Add the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 3-4 minutes.
2. Start wilting the greens into the pan; adding a little at a time. Once all of the greens are in the pan, add the nutmeg and salt and pepper.
3. Add the chicken stock, water and beans and bring the soup to a boil. Bring back down to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings and serve.
