Escarole Soup

Needed to throw some healthy meals into our mix for the New Year.  Every Wednesday is Macaroni & Cheese night (sanity for me, happiness for the kids).  This Escarole Soup from Saveur Magazine was simple and came out so deep and flavorful.  I love escarole and this could definitely be made with or without the meatballs.  I only had 2/3 of a lb of beef so I made less meatballs and it was plenty.
