Escarole (AKA Italian Wedding) Soup

This is a favorite soup of my family and relatives.  My family calls it escarole soup but others may know it as ‘Italian Wedding Soup.  It’s now ’soup weather’ up here in New Hampshire so I figured I’d share this wonderful recipe with others.

Recipe: Escarole Soup

This soup consists of a combination beef / chicken broth and is loaded with little meatballs.  Escarole (which is a type of flavorful ‘green’) adds some vegetation to the offering.  Pasta is also added to round it out as a terrific meal.  You can use any small pasta you like but we prefer ditalini pasta. We like to keep the pasta separate.  This allows individuals to control how ‘pasta rich’ their bowl of soup is.  It also keeps the pasta from getting ‘water-logged’ if you have to perpare it in advance.  I also like to sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top when serving.  Goes well with crusty bread.  Enjoy!
