This was super simple to make and took little to no time at all, really happy with the end results, thanks.
Mushy as all heck on my end, the taste was still flavorful but I recommend the Quick chicken and black bean soup instead.
Beans and escarole, officially my two new favorite things in one singular plate!
It takes a while to get this soup just right, it was on the cold side when I cooked it for the time stated in the instructions.
This is a very filling and satisying meal to make, thanks so much for sharing it!
Can't believe I didn't know about this soup earlier, I'm just glad I know about it now so I can add it to my list of meals I love making.
When my husband came home he instantly knew that he was in for a treat since he could smell how amazing the soup would taste the minute he entered the house from work.
Love beans, love this recipe, love everything on this site!!! You guys come up with the best stuff honestly.
Made this for family lunch and everyone was very pleased with how it came out, can't wait to make more soups just like this one :)
I have a daughter and son who both refuse to eat their beans, whenever they were on the plate they both would push them to the side. This is the only soup with beans they've actually touched and finished, worked like a charm
Can't get enough of this soup! Unbelieveably good.
I added som chopped up potatoes to mine to make it a bit more thick and I really enjoyed all the unique flavors in this soup.
Wow this was really tasty, I wanted to add more spices to this in case it would turn out to be plain but it was perfect in the end
Added a lot more spices to this and some hot sauce because it was kinda bland.
Well done! Thanks for sharing recipe!
