I was going to make a how-to video but this is a one-step recipe! π π Leftover baked ham gives this cozy white bean and escarole soup lots of heft and rich flavor. A bit of fresh rosemary and sage give it just the right amount of herby essence. Link in BIO for a printable recipe but itβs also below!

Ham, White Bean & Escarole Soup
β β β β β β β β
ΒΌ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 packed cups torn escarole, (about 6 ounces)
1 teaspoon minced rosemary
1 teaspoon minced sage
6 cups chicken broth
8 ounces baked ham, shredded, (not thin-sliced deli ham)
15 ounces cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
Grated parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper, for serving

In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the escarole, rosemary, and sage. Cook, stirring, until the escarole is barely wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, ham, and beans. Bring just to a boil, then simmer over low heat until hot, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve, passing grated parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, and olive oil at the table.
