Our Pairing Suggestion
Escarole gives this mild, straightforward soup an attractive edge best matched by a tart, herbaceous California Sauvignon Blanc.
Recipe: Turkey Escarole Soup with Parmesan
- FAST
Ingredients
- Twelve 1/2 -inch-thick slices of Italian bread
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small head of escarole (about 1 pound), thinly sliced crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 6 cups Turkey Stock
- 2 cups diced cooked turkey (about 1/2 pound)
- Preheat the oven to 350&$176;. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle the 1/4 cup of Parmesan on top and toast for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the escarole, 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Add the Turkey Stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook until the escarole is tender, about 7 minutes.
- Add the turkey and cook just until heated through. Spoon the soup into bowls, add the Parmesan toasts and serve with additional cheese.
