Easy Escarole Soup - Simple and Delicious!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Heat light olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and season with salt; cook for about 10 minutes until browned.

Cut carrots, celery, and onion into large pieces and add to the pot.

Cook the vegetables with the chicken for a couple of hours to create a clear broth, then remove the chicken and vegetables.

Add water to the pot to lift flavors from the bottom and bring to a simmer.

Prepare mini meatballs using ground beef, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, grated garlic, salt, parsley, and an egg.

Roll small meatballs and add them to the simmering broth.

Shred the cooked chicken and add it back to the pot with the meatballs.

Simmer for about 45 minutes before adding the thoroughly cleaned escarole.
