Serves: 4

Ingredients

6 heads escarole, washed and chopped

1 can cannellini beans, rinsed

1 head garlic (cut top off, about 1/2 inch to expose the cloves)

Olive oil

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

4 cups chicken broth

Salt

Pepper

1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 ° F. Place garlic cut side up on a piece of aluminum foil with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast garlic for 35-40 minutes or until softened. Allow garlic to cool. Once garlic is cool, you should be able to squeeze it out. In a large soup pot, add oil over medium-high heat. Add in roasted garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant or for a couple of minutes. Next, add in escarole and cook until softened. Once escarole is soft, add in chicken broth along with beans. Add more broth if need be. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes. When soup is done serve with crusty bread and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
