"From "Brassicas" by Laurel B. Russell. Greens substitute for the more familiar escarole in this soup. Alas, the rabbits found my Chinese broccoli, so this will have to wait until I get to market. I anticipate possible reducing the amount of salt."

Made this as stated, just added a squeeze lemon juice at time of serving, will make again probably often as I love all soups.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
