ESCAROLE AND BEAN SOUP

Escarole and Bean Soup

Beans are a super food. High in fiber (both insoluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol, as well as soluble fiber, which fills you up) they are also a good, low-fat source of protein, and potassium. Beans can easily substitute for meat in many dishes.
