Escarole And Rice Soup - {Zuppa Di Scarola E Riso}

Recipe Ingredients

1		Escarole
1		Onion - finely chopped (small)
4 tablespoons	60ml	Butter
		Salt - to taste
4 cups	948ml	Weak vegetable or beef broth
1/2 cup	80g / 2.8oz	Raw rice/ preferably Italian Arborio
3 tablespoons	45ml	Grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

Separate the escarole leaves and wash thorougly, discarding all wilted parts. Cut into diagonal ribbons, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch wide.

In a large saucepan, saute onions in butter over medium heat until they are browned. Add the escarole ribbons and a little salt, and saute for a minute or two, stirring occasionally to coat the greens with butter.

Add 1/2 cup stock, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Add the rest of the stock, bring to a boil, stir in the rice, then cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes -- the rice should not be mushy.

Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese, and adjust for seasoning. Ladle into soup bowls and serve immediately.
