Today we’re making a classic Italian beans and greens soup. I used escarole, but you could easily sub spinach or kale if escarole proves too hard to find. I hope you enjoy this escarole and beans soup!

James tried my beans and greens soup then made me test some beanboozled beans. The print recipe and ingredients are always linked right in the description. If you enjoy these videos please like and share them. That really helps us out.
Hi….if you out some butter outside the measuring bowl spout it should pour without dribbling. Love your videos!
to prevent the drip line the spoon against the edge of the container you are pouring from . The liquid will wick the utensil, chemists do this
Can you use salt pork?
This interaction with your son is priceless. The bantering is gem! The receipe I still have to try great job guys.
Looks Good .
Yar James wants salt , you are 'dude you don't have to worry about blood pressure'. It's life. Looks like a GREAT soup recipe and not too far from my weekly or every other week bridge clearance I've been doing the last 3 or 4 months. I love a recipe but the outline that is shown here is classic, make it your own add carrots or whatever and make soup. Clear out your veggie drawer as best you can. Saves food waste and you will surprise yourself.
LOL, Jelly Belly is great!
Great content James! Long time watcher. Love you and your family, and of course your recipes. The production of the videos is exceptionally well done, and noticeably improved as of late. Bravissimo! Continua così! 💚🤍❤
I'm guessing you put that in his stocking so you have no one to blame but yourself… Great kid, gread vid 🙂
Makes a great and healthy soup! I love to add chicken broth with the left over soup and some day old bread and make Ribolata!
Looks delicious (except for the candy at the end 🤣) And, if you have only 1 cooking vessel, made it enameled cast iron. I'm not a huge bean fan, but now I want to make my wedding soup!
I was planning on making this today. This is a sign. Yours looks delicious!
Since I gained a couple of kilos after finding your channel, this was a welcome alternative to cheese loaded pastas. At least, I felt better eating it. Although, should have left some for leftovers.
Good for you, young man! I am impressed
From New Jersey now in Arkansas cannot get any Escarol. So so upsetting!
I may have to use some smoked turkey legs in this. I don’t eat pork, but I love soup although I’m in Florida.
What is the burner you’re using?
Try pouring from the side instead of the spout with the pyrex. Pour with confidence. No drips that way.
“You can save them in your compost pile”. Yea. Sure I’ll totally save them in my compost pile. Lol.
Great video 🙌. Blending a portion with an immersion blender may help with the consistency.
My family hates escarole so I make it with spinach. I prefer the escarole, but the spinach is a good replacement. Great recipe!
Pour over a wooden spoon. It helps with spillage.
I would add some type of acidity to the soup instead of salt. Like a little lemon/lime juice or a splash of white vinegar. I bet that will make it pop
Wedding soup?
I don't eat pork, is turkey kolbasa and turkey bacon okay instead?
My glass Pyrex measuring cups always spill, too! It's really annoying, and can affect a recipe. @Pyrex please fix the pouring lip issue…
Drinking game: every time he says “Escarole” take a shot.
Another heartwarming video and recipe. You guys rock. My grandmother used to make a similar recipe for my grandfather. He loved escarole. Great soup for the soul and the common cold. 😉👍🇮🇹🇺🇸 Enjoy the low BP while you can, James! 😅
You need to pour faster when you’re using a Pyrex measuring bowl.User error!!
The soup looks great.
Give this kid some Olive Oil! Love his style! So good for you!
I love soups, and yours look as good as my mom's. She's gone now, but I can close my eyes and still smell her soup.
Love seeing your son again!! A young man to reckoned with!😂
First time viewer; will def ck in again. The recipe is on my to-do list. Based on James' review, I think, I'll be using an immersion blender a bit and add a tad bit of half-half or heavy cream to the finished dish. Thanks for sharing; loved the interaction of you guys!
Y'all Be Safe!
This looks amazing! Maybe for the crisp, besides pancetta, would be homemade breadcrumbs/cubes.
Is that escarole bean?
Thanks!
Delightful video and soup looks bomb!
Hi Guys. I love your videos and your recipes. I am UK based and love Italian food which is very popular here. But your recipes are a little different to the norm, even of those recipes by Italian chefs in the UK. I love that difference. Can I please ask that as the American "CUP" amount means nothing to Europeans that when making the video you also give the gram or millilitre equivalent. I know you give that in your notes, but sometimes I like to cook the dish whilst watching your video. I must try your Sheperds Pie as it is seen as a classic English here, to see the difference you make to it. Keep the videos coming and love and happiness to you and your family.
Saluti, Chris
You guys are so adorable.Could pare it with Brie or feta incrusted bread also and and a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt maybe or buttermilk for creaminess maybe some white pepper as well.But the greens would of never thought of doing that , that’s a super good tip I’ll have to try very soon.
I was hoping to find out where you got your flat edge spoon from in this video ..I love your videos especially when your family is with you !!
This soup looks right up my alley! Love it.
I love your relationship with your son ❤️ Made this last night and added a small pinch of red pepper flakes. My family LOVED IT!
There's a soup just like this one from Spain and they use Mustard greens..It is amazing! Only difference, which is a super nice touch is they add like 1/2 t. of Smoked paprika. Gives it a nice touch. Instead of pancetta, they use Smoked ham hocks! Really enjoyed this video! Reminds me of that Spanish soup❤❤❤
Love this Recipe!! Your son “Rocks!!” Great Tester!! Love his Suggestions!! You’re an Awesome Cook!! Love How you “Keep it Simple”..& Explain things!! I’m a new sub!!🙌🙌💗🙏🙏🥰
Can’t wait to make this soup!!Yum!😋🤗🥣
