Recipe Notes

A twist on a classic Italian soup. This Moroccan version is packed full of flavor. If you can’t find endive (escarole), and bitter green will do.

"On the endive show, she offered a Yogi Berra-style malaprop: 'Now don't wash endive-that is, unless it's dirty.' And during an episode of forgetfulness: 'I did not have my glasses on when I was thinking.' Once, she sorted through a jungle of seaweed in search of a twenty-pound lobster lurking in its folds; another time, she lifted the veil over a platter hunting for the 'big, bad artichoke' lying furtively underneath."
