Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the capicola, red onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, 2 cups water, the parmesan rind, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the parmesan rind.
• Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread; rub both sides with the whole garlic clove and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Stir the escarole into the soup and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Top each serving of soup with a piece of toast. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stock-pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.

TASTY BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight in about 3 quarts of water. Drain and either set aside or if you are using a crockpot put on the lowest setting and add chicken stock with the beans.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan. Score smoked turkey legs or thighs and place in hot pan. Allow the turkey to heat and release flavor into the oil while prepping the other ingredients.
• Remove turkey from the pan and place into crockpot or set aside.
• Put onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in pan and cook until just tender.
• Add all spices and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes to allow dry spices to open up.
• Add vegetable mixture into crockpot or put the turkey, beans, and stock into the large pan. If you are using a pan bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for as long you can stand! (The smell is so good you will not be able to resist tasting) I recommend at least 4-6 hours.
• Enjoy!
