    EXACTLY!!!
    Where's the "Grilled Provolone"? I thought when I made this two years ago, there was a three cheese grilled cheese sandwich that accompanied this soup??? Which also was just as big a hit as the soup!!!

    OMG! Made this fabulous dish last weekend as the opener to my Mother's Day Brunch. Needless to say it was a HUGE hit with my family. As described on Rachel's show it is exactly a cross between an Italian Minestra (escarole & beans and Italian Wedding Soup or as my family likes to call it Holiday Soup.
    It was delicious and so simple to prepare. Super fast and a total crowd pleaser.

    Just finished making and eating this dish. I just started a reduced calorie diet so I made some modifications but will not and do not compromise on taste. I used ground turkey (80/20 and ground chicken (80/20. I made the meatballs using an asian dumpling recipe (without the wrapper of course-- featured on one of Bobby Flay's Throwdown,--Search for Sohui Kim's Pork and Chive Dumpling or you can even find it on the Throwdown for Dumplings. I even added Bobby's chili paste and cilantro. The meatballs were the star to this delicious and soothing soup. It was so delicious. I can't wait to make it will full fat ground pork again. They are unbelievable. I made the little meatballs with a small ice cream scooper and just tossed them in where Rachael instructed. Now I'll eat this in small meals all day, with my workouts and stay on the network and adapt some more fun and tasty dishes. No diets for me.

    This soup is amazing, however I omited the fennel seed and allspice from the meatballs as I didn't have any in the pantry. I also used two bags of baby spinach instead of escarole. As Rachael says it was "DELISH" We will be having this with a tomato mozzarella salad and fried polenta with marinara sauce. Can't wait!

    I'm going to try this recipe this week, but I was wondering where the grilled provolone part comes in? There is nothing in this recipe that includes that. HELP!

    Just tried this, under pressure and with company watching! (I got him to help with the meatball shaping! Had to sub "cavolo nero" for escarole. Cooked the pasta separately and added to the pot while the meatballs were cooking, a little longer than specified to make sure they were done. It's terrific: great flavor.

    I used spinach instead of escarole. It turned out OK, I won't make it again.

    Technically, I would give this 4.5 stars. It turned out really good and my two toddlers loved it too...I had never used escarole and we all liked it. It probably took more than 30 mins (as most of RR dishes do but I did it in stages so it was very simple and easy. I also made the grilled provolone sandwiches too.

    My only regret is that I did not have the fennel seed; before I make it again I will be sure to have iit in my cupboard! I made it with ground chicken because that is what I had in the freezer, with the pancetta, it was still flavorful. Thanks Rachel.
