Comforting White Bean and Escarole Soup

I’ve been making this white bean and escarole soup on repeat lately. It’s like a warm hug in a bowl. Healthy, light, and perfect for Spring. And it comes together fast with basic pantry staples.

And while I mainly post about home and DIY, I thought it might be fun to share some of my other inspirations: cooking and food photography. There is something cathartic about making a delicious recipe, plating it beautifully, and then sitting down to savor it.
