MINESTRA DI FAGIOLI (BEAN SOUP)
Use a first rate rustic bread for this recipe. It doesn't work near as well with the grocery store variety. Purests will tell you that this soup is better heated the second day and should be thick enough by then to eat with a fork!

[email protected]This soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I love the way the beans and escarole cook down and become so tender. I also love the addition of the Parmesan cheese and olive oil at the end.
