Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt 4 ounces (1/2 bunch) dandelion greens, coarsely chopped 1 bunch (6 ounces) rapini, tough stems removed and coarsely chopped 6 cups coarsely chopped cabbage (about 1/2 head) 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 2 ribs celery, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 bay leaf 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes 1 ounce pancetta, chopped (about 1/4 cup) 2 cups Cheese Brodo 1 cup Prosciutto Brodo Chicken Meatballs

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add dandelion greens and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a wire skimmer, transfer greens to a colander to drain. Add rapini to boiling water and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a wire skimmer, transfer rapini to a colander to drain. Add cabbage to boiling water and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain and set greens aside.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add celery, garlic, bay leaf, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery and garlic are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in greens and both brodos. Let simmer until greens are tender, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add meatballs during the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired.

Ladle soup into warmed bowls; drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/02/2009   this soup is fantastic! I made it over a couple of nights starting with the two brodos and then finishing it on the second night. I used tuscan kale, green cabbage and baby bok choy! I didn't make nearly the amount of recommended brodo just a couple cups or so, which was fine. So hearty and healthy and flavorfully delicious! Can't wait to make it again!

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/09/2009   Can you leave out the pancetta and prosciutto? Are there non-pork substitutes?  

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/09/2009   Ok - now I see it as a separate recipe - thanks!
