This Mediterranean-inspired chicken and escarole soup is a vibrant, nourishing option for a light lunch or a comforting midweek supper. The combination of succulent chicken thighs and the slightly bitter notes of escarole creates a sophisticated flavour profile, further enhanced by the aromatic addition of fennel seeds and dried oregano. It is a wonderfully fragrant dish that brings a touch of warmth to the table during the cooler months.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this soup focuses on lean protein and fibre-rich vegetables, providing a satisfying meal that remains light on the palate. The addition of tinned tomatoes and low-salt broth ensures a rich base without excessive sodium. Complete the dish with a dusting of sharp Pecorino Romano for a salty, savoury finish that perfectly complements the fresh greens.
