Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs sweet mild Italian sausage
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 head escarole, sliced crosswise into 1 inch strips
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained
1 lb cellentani pasta or 1 lb fusilli, cooked and drained
1 cup freshly grated romano cheese

Steps:

Heat oil in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 10 minutes, remove and slice into 1 inch chunks.
Add onions, garlic and escarole to the skillet and cook until the escarole is wilted.
Add broths, sausage and cannelini beans and simmer 15 minutes.
Stir in cheese and mix with hot pasta.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for escarole that is dark green and crisp, and beans that are plump and creamy.
Don't overcook the escarole: Escarole should be cooked just until it is wilted, about 5 minutes. Overcooking will make it tough and bitter.
Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for cannellini beans and kidney beans, but you can use any type of bean you like. Great Northern beans, black beans, and pinto beans are all good choices.
Add your favorite sausage: This recipe uses Italian sausage, but you can use any type of sausage you like. Chicken sausage, pork sausage, or even vegan sausage would all be good choices.
Season to taste: This recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to add more or less garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.

Conclusion:

Escarole, beans, sausage, and pasta soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover escarole and beans. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
