Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
2 oz pancetta or prosciutto, diced
1/2 cup diced onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp minced fresh rosemary or thyme leaves
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 head escarole, (about 1 lb) trimmed, washed, and coarsely chopped
two 15 oz cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped canned whole tomatoes
5 cups homemade or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
drizzle each serving with extra-virgin olive oil and/or sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and serve

Directions:

In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat, add the pancetta, and saute for about 5 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, and pepper flakes; saute for 3 minutes more. Add the escarole, stirring until wilted, about 2 minutes more. Add the beans, tomato, broth, and salt; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the reserved pancetta and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the oil and/or cheese and the crusty bread.
Cook's note: Swiss chard is a welcome substitute for escarole.
