I love this soup! I like to substitute fresh spinach for the escarole. No need to sautee -- I just put a 10 oz. bag of pre-washed spinach in with the simmering broth until it wilts. I sometimes include cooked ground turkey breast as a healthy, hearty addition. Fresh garlic is too strong for my taste, so I use a teaspoon of garlic juice instead.

Delicious and very easy to make. The only things I changed were the following: added Italian sauage meet, added half of a chopped sweet onion, and omitted the cheese. I will definitely make it again soon!

Was very tasty... based on other reviews, I added some sliced bacon and sweet red onions. I didn't have escarole so I used collard greens. Didn't have the cannellini beans, so I used kidney beans & black beans. Served it with toasted rye bread and my family loved it! Will definitely make this again, but with Giada's original ingredients, because it is diabetic friendly. Thank you!!

Was good, but not as good as I remember as a kid when my mom would make it. Seemed to have a very mild flavor. I suppose using the homemade stock and Parm Regiano would make it the best it can be.

I have no complaints, but one question. I added grated Parm at the end. The piece of Parmesn never dissolved, but I kept it for myself at serving time and it was tasty.

Ultra fast and easy, but I was disappointed in my results, considering the number of reviews and 5 star ratings. Perhaps I did not chop my escarole finely enough, so I used an emerging blender which pureed most of the beans, chopped the cheese, and the escarole. The resulting soup is fabulous.

Super simple to make. Hearty and tasty. I sauteed 1 medium chopped onion, 1 medium chopped italian eggplant, and 1 medium chopped italian pepper in the olive oil before adding the escarole. Also make sure you really rinse your escarole, it can be sandy.

I modified the recipe just a bit to use some kale I had on hand and added some crispy pancetta to it which made the flavor out of this world! Excellent recipe!!
