Ham Escarole and Bean Stoup

Here is one of those comfort foods. Ham, escarole and beans, a thick than soup called stoup. I especially like to make on a rainy or cool day. Grandma always had a pot simmering on her old fashioned gas stove. I can still remember her lighting that stove with a match. Memories of years gone by, they go by so fast. Those days keep her memory alive.

Easy and inexpensive meals

I don't care what you put in the pot with meat and boiling water, I love soups like these.



No it's not a typo, it's called Stoup. Stoup is a soup and stew combination because it's so thick and comforting.



This stoup is made with meat, escarole, it's full of beans, and vegetables.



It's thicker than just soup, more like a stew.

Delicious and Comforting

I just love how perfect this is for those cooler days when you need something to warm you up.



This stoup feeds many people also. That's comforting for most of us on a budget these days to have an easy inexpensive healthy meal to serve your family.



All you need is a dense loaf of rustic Italian bread and you will be getting the best experience!
