Heart Healthy Escarole & Bean Soup
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch fresh escarole - chopped or torn
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 quart of College Inn Lower Sodium Chicken Broth
- 2-3 links of lean turkey sausage
- 1 can Progresso cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 TBSP olive oil
- fresh ground pepper and parmesean cheese to taste
Directions:
- In a large stock pot, sautee garlic in the olive oil until slightly browned. Add the escarole and sautee for about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beans, cooked sausage and some parmesean cheese and simmer until the beans are warmed through, about 5-10 minutes.
When serving, add fresh ground pepper to taste. Serving with ciabatta bread is delicious, but it adds some empty calories and carbs. Recipe as listed serves 2 firefighters. Adjust the recipe accordingly for larger groups.
