Escarole and Turkey Sausage Soup (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Escarole is a hearty green that is just as delicious served raw in salads as it is cooked into soups or sauteed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Meatball lovers can replace the sausage with mini chicken or turkey meatballs made with lean white meat.

This soup has potential but needs some tweaking. I found the broth to be bland and the escarole to be too tough. I'll try it again with some adjustments.

Meh, not my favorite. The escarole was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll stick to my regular chicken noodle soup.

Made this soup for a dinner party and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. I served it with crusty bread for dipping.

Easy and tasty! I'm not a big fan of escarole but this soup changed my mind. The flavors all come together perfectly.

Followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The escarole and turkey sausage are a perfect match. Will be making this a regular in my meal rotation.

This soup is amazingly delicious! I used chicken sausage instead of turkey sausage and it was still fabulous. I also added a bit of chopped kale for extra greens. Will definitely be making this again and again!
