Introduction
This soup is so tasty. It's so simple and makes 7 1-cup servings. Perfect to warm you up on a cold day. The garlic is the best part so don't skimp. You can always skip the chives. Grated parmesan is a nice topper, too. This soup is so tasty. It's so simple and makes 7 1-cup servings. Perfect to warm you up on a cold day. The garlic is the best part so don't skimp.

Ingredients
-
4 cups canned low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
2 14oz. can of white beans (great northern or cannelini)
1 small head of escarole, cleaned and roughly chopped
8 garlic cloves, sliced
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 chives, snipped with scissors every half-inch
Directions
In a stockpot, boil 6 cups of water (for parboiling the escarole). When it's at a rolling boil, add the escarole and submerge in the water. Leave for 2 minutes and remove, drain and cool with cold running water. Set aside to drain.
In a saucepan big enough to complete the soup, heat oil on low heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add stock and all but 1 cup of the beans (reserve some to keep whole). Bring to a boil. Turn off and puree soup using an immersion/stick blender (or you could use a standing blender or food processor). Bring back to a simmer and add remaining whole beans, escarole and chives and give a stir.
Makes 7 1-cup servings.
Bon Appetit!
