Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Salt
1 large bundle broccoli rabe, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds bulk Italian sweet or hot sausage
1 onion, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or very thinly sliced
1 red chile pepper, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon lemon zest
A few grates nutmeg
6 cups chicken stock-in-a-box
2 cups water
About 3/4 cup orecchietti pasta
Grated pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano, for topping
Crusty bread, such as ciabatta

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring a few inches of water to a boil over medium heat, then salt the water. Trim the broccoli rabe and cut it into 1 1/2 to 2-inch lengths. Simmer in boiling water to reduce the bitterness, about 4 to 5 minutes, then cold shock in ice water and drain very well.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan. Add the sausage and brown and crumble, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the onions, garlic and chile and cook a few minutes more. Add the thyme and lemon zest, then add broccoli rabe and season with a little nutmeg. Stir in the stock and the water and bring to a boil. Simmer a few minutes to combine the flavors. Turn off the heat, cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat the stoup over low heat and bring to a low boil. Add the pasta and cook to al dente, about 10 minutes. Ladle the stoup in shallow bowls and garnish with cheese. Serve with crusty bread for mopping.

I added a cup of kale to this soup and it was delicious! The kale added a nice bitterness and extra nutrients.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used veggie sausage in this soup. It turned out really well!

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better if you used less red pepper flakes.

I found this soup to be too salty. I think it would be better if you used less salt or omitted it altogether.

This soup is just okay. The flavors are a bit bland and the soup is not very filling. I probably won't make it again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I'm so glad I did! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the potatoes and carrots. And the sausage adds a nice smoky flavor.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit with my family! The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very filling. I especially liked the addition of the broccoli rabe, which gave the soup a nice bitterness.
