Preparation

Step 1

Put escarole, garlic, onions, spinach, zucchini, red pepper, fennel, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, thyme and oregano into a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes.


Stir in salt, black pepper, parsley and basil. Serve. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Toss in white beans or chopped shrimp for a heartier soup; sprinkle on Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.* *Could affect Points Plus values.
