6 cups water

6 cubes chicken bouillon

3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

1 pound torn escarole

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the water, chicken bouillon, cannellini beans, and diced tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 minutes.

Stir in the torn escarole, and continue simmering until the escarole is tender, about 30 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 5 to 10 minutes more before serving.
