Here is how you make Mediterranean white bean soup with escarole:

In a large soup pot, heat oil and saute leeks for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the beans, tomatoes, 2 c boiling water, stock powder, herbs, and salt and bring to a boil over high heat.While the soup is coming to a boil, stack the escarole leaves and coarsely chop them. Once soup is boiling, stir in the escarole. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the escarole is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with the balsamic vinegar and pepper. Stir in any basil for garnish just before serving.*Personal note: I prepare my navy beans in a pressure cooker beforehand. Here's my recipe for that: 1 lb navy beans, 1 onion, quartered, 2 bay leaves. Bring to high pressure and cook for 4 minutes. I use the excess water from this pressure cooking as the 2 c water in this recipe, which makes it a more robust and flavorful soup.Serving Size: Makes 4 2-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHIX96.
