WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH ESCAROLE
This escarole and bean soup has become a favorite because it uses kitchen staples, it's packed with healthy ingredients and is a cinch to prepare. If I can't find escarole, I sub fresh spinach at the very end of cooking. -Gina Samokar, North Haven, Connecticut

CHARRO BEANS
My grandmother, mother's side, would make these during the winter season when I still lived in South Texas. She would get up every morning to make her homemade flour tortillas as well. Absolutely tasted great with the Ranchero Beans! I hope you try it and tell me how it came out for you! If you like to mix up the recipe, go for it!
