Escarole and White Bean Soup image

This is a variation on a recipe from Lidia Bastianich. I added a few ingredients that my family loves and cut out a lot of fat. It was terrific when I made it for lunch the other day. If you cant find Aleppo pepper use crushed red pepper flakes. I love the fragrance that Aleppo pepper gives dishes though. If you used vegetable stock this would be a wonderful and filling vegetarian soup as well.
