This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

Not a fan of escarole, so I used spinach instead. Turned out great!

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also would have liked to see more vegetables in the soup.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice. Will definitely make this again!

I made this soup for my family and they all loved it. The escarole added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the fennel. I would definitely recommend this soup to anyone who loves hearty and flavorful soups.
