LENTIL AND ESCAROLE SOUP
The combination of legumes and bitter greens like escarole is common in southern Italy. Escarole is a bitter lettuce that looks a little bit like frisée but with wider, tougher leaves. It's high in vitamin A and a good source of iron and potassium. This recipe is adapted from one in "Cucina Rustica," by Evan Kleiman and Viana La Place. If you can't find escarole, you can substitute any hearty green.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly and smell fragrant, five to 10 minutes. Add the lentils and simmer with the tomato mixture for a few minutes, then add the bouquet garni and the water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and add salt to taste (1 to 2 teaspoons). Cover and simmer 30 minutes.
- Add the escarole, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the escarole and the lentils are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bouquet garni.
- Toast slices of country bread if desired and rub with a cut clove of garlic. Place a slice in each bowl, ladle in the soup and serve.

LENTIL & ESCAROLE SOUP (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)
This was yummy! I wanted to try something new and decided on this and was glad I did. Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen seldom ever lets me down. I served this over large croutons I made from stale bread I had in the freezer by cutting it into large cubes and toasting/drying it out in the oven.

- In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, warm the oil until shimmering. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. [Editor’s Note: Yes, that’s a lot of oil for not a lot of vegetables. We’re asking you to take a leap of faith here. The generous amount of oil lends the finished soup an unmistakable richness that we suspect you’ll appreciate.]
- Stir in the garlic and parsley and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth or stock, water, lentils, tomatoes and their juice, Parmigiano rind, if using, and bay leaves and bring to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Simmer until the lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes if using brown lentils and about 1 hour if using Umbrian lentils.
- Remove and discard the Parmigiano rind, if using, as well as the bay leaves. Stir in the escarole, a handful at a time, and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes or so. If you prefer a brothier consistency to your soup, add more hot broth as desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with extra oil, if desired. Pass the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano on the side.
