Zuppa Maritata image

Mayor Ed Koch had a slight stroke while he was mayor of New York City and while lying bedridden at Gracie Mansion, he heard that he had a visitor. He was soon shocked to learn that Mother Teresa had come to call. He leaped up and put on a bathrobe, saying, "Mother, what are you doing here?" Mother Teresa answered, "You need your friends when you are sick." In honor of friendship, healing, Mother Teresa, and Ed Koch, here is a true comfort soup that bridges all lands and creeds.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sausage and pasta, and they don't even realize they're eating escarole.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I really enjoyed this soup. The vegetables and broth were so flavorful that I didn't even miss the meat.

This soup is a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I love the addition of escarole to this soup. It gives it a slightly bitter note that complements the other flavors well.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.
