Superb. I made this soup on a chilly evening, and it was so comforting. The escarole makes it unique, plus it felt healthy. My husband loved it, and he usually isn’t a soup person. Will definitely make again.

Mushy as all heck on my end, the taste was still flavorful but I recommend the Quick chicken and black bean soup instead.
