Thanks for posting this. My grandmother was from South Philly and recently passed away, and I never got the scarole soup recipe from her…I just thought I would google “scarole soup recipe” and see if anyone else called it that as well! I’ll be making it this week!

Thanks for the delicious recipe (and backstory). Made it tonight and it was REALLY YUMMY!! Never had cooked escarole before, quite nice. Even our 2 year old gobbled it up!

Hi, Nancy. Thank you SO much for the kind words. I’m so happy you made the dish and are pleased w/ the results. It makes me feel good that someone else out there is eating Grandmom’s soup. Enjoy and thanks again.

This is the BEST Italian Wedding soup this side of the Atlantic. I will treasure this recipe (already know it by heart) forever and hand it down with enthusiasm. GREAT SOUP!!!!!!

The details you gave about your grandma paint such a vivid picture of her! She sounds lovely–and I particularly like the bit where she tells you she doesn’t remember how to make something. That’s totally how the good cooks are, isn’t it? They just make it, no recipe, and it’s even hard to explain.

yum! I am definitely going to make this! A grocery store near me often has Italian Wedding soup as part of their soup/salad bar — I always eye it, but have never gotten it (usually because I am buying groceries not lunch!) Thanks for the inspiration!

I love Escarole soup with meatballs but have only had it done well a handful of times. I’ll be giving your grandma Anna’s recipe a try soon.
