Number Of Ingredients 13

Coarse salt
4 ounces (1/2 bunch) dandelion greens, coarsely chopped
1 bunch (6 ounces) rapini, tough stems removed and coarsely chopped
6 cups coarsely chopped cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 ounce pancetta, chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add dandelion greens and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a wire skimmer, transfer greens to a colander to drain. Add rapini to boiling water and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add celery, garlic, bay leaf, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery and garlic are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in greens and both brodos. Let simmer until greens are tender, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add meatballs during the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired.
  • Ladle soup into warmed bowls; drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.

The instructions for this soup were a bit confusing. I had to re-read them several times before I was sure I understood them.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This soup was a delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I especially enjoyed the addition of the escarole, which added a slightly bitter note that balanced out the sweetness of the other vegetables.
