Ingredients

12ouncesdried cannellini beans (about 1 ¾ cups), soaked overnight

6largeeggs

1cupfinely chopped flat-leaf parsley

½cupgrated Parmesan cheese

¼cupall-purpose flour

½teaspoonsalt, divided

1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil

8ouncesItalian turkey sausage, casings removed

½mediumonion, diced

3clovesgarlic, chopped

4cupslow-sodium chicken broth

1headescarole, coarsely chopped (10 cups)

¼teaspoonground pepper

Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Whisk eggs, parsley, Parmesan, flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula. While still warm, invert onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment and cut the frittata into 1/4-inch cubes.

Heat oil in the pot over medium heat. Shape sausage into 3/4-inch balls and add them to the pot. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in broth and the reserved cooking liquid, scraping up any browned bits. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.

Add escarole, the beans and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Return to a boil. Cook until the escarole is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the soup topped with the egg “croutons” and with lemon wedges, if desired.

To make ahead

Refrigerate beans and reserved cooking liquid (Step 1) separately for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
