Homemade Chicken Soup With Escarole


When you or your loved one is sick, homemade chicken soup always tastes better than canned soup. However when in a pinch, I still go for Campbell's Double Noodle or Chicken Noodle Soup for myself. For those of you that want to take extra in making your chicken soup for a loved one or for a different kind of dinner soup, try our this recipe for Chicken Soup With Escarole.

Ingredients for Making Chicken Soup with Escarole:
5 cups of strong chicken broth, preferably homemade
1 bunch of fresh escarole
8 or 9 ounces of tortellini or pastina
Salt or ground black pepper for tasting
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Chicken Soup with Escarole:
Rinse, trim and cut your escarole in half. Make sure your pasta is fresh or thoroughly thawed. Simmer your chicken broth in a large pot and in a another pot cook escarole in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes. Drain the escarole well and let it cool for a few minutes. Boil your pasta for 3 to 4 minutes or al dente if you prefer. Drain the pasta and add pasta to your chicken broth. Simmer for 2 more minutes. Add salt and paper for taste and serve with light grated Parmesan cheese. Homemade Chicken Soup for all!
