It's getting cooler outside these days, so what's better than soup....nothing. Right? Here is a modification of the traditional escarole soup that was my mother-in-law's recipe.  I hope you enjoy it.  She used mini meatballs that she would make herself.  So, to make this a quick weeknight meal for a family of four, I changed it to precooked ham and added cannellini beans.  Canned beans are great to add to any meal. It makes the meal more balanced, and I always feel full afterward. I hope you like it.

    I love ham and bean soup. This recipe with escarole is different than my usual go-to recipe. But sounds awesome!
