Meatball and Escarole Soup image

We like to change the taste of this by using different types greens (we have supped spinach and mustard greens both in the past). The taste also changes with the type of meatballs you use. My family's favorite is Italian flavored meatballs. We serve with French bread and fresh fruit for dessert.
