Cut bottoms off escarole, removing any damaged (browned, soggy leaves), washing them well.

In a non-stick stock pot (at least 6 quart pot), heat olive oil on medium flame, putting in garlic and onion, sautee until transparent (do not burn), add broth and then washed Escarole after a few moments, add pepper to suit, and put meatballs in, bring to a boil and then lower to simmer for about 1 hour. Makes about 8 to 10 servings. You can, if you chose, add some pasta noodles, but adds to the carb content. Upon serving, sprinkle with grated cheese to suit tastebuds
