Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound navy beans
12 cups Homemade Beef Stock
1 large onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1/4 pound pancetta (Italian raw bacon), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 large head of large escarole
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight, or boil for 3 minutes and then soak for 1 hour. Drain beans, discarding the soaking liquid. Simmer beans in stock with onion, garlic, and bay leaves until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Blanch pancetta in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, and add to the soup halfway through cooking.
  • Wash escarole, and pat dry. Roughly chop escarole; set aside.
  • When beans are thoroughly cooked, add chopped escarole. Simmer for 2 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the escarole and they didn't even realize they were eating it!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had some canned white beans in my pantry and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of escarole, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans and broth were so flavorful that the escarole didn't overpower the dish.

This soup is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced and the escarole adds a nice bitterness that really complements the beans.
