Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium carrot, diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 celery, finely diced
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tbsp chopped parsley
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cups water
1 (14 1/2 oz) can small diced tomatoes

1 parmesan cheese, rind (about 2 inches by 4 inches)
2 bay leaves
1 head escarole , cut into 1/2 inch wide strips (about 8 oz)
