The bean and escarole soup in jar cooking I propose today is a recipe that cooks in just 8 minutes, thanks to my microwave jar cooking technique. A typical Southern Italian soup, made with cannellini beans and escarole, cooked in a jar and which can be preserved, as if freshly made, for 10 days in the refrigerator and thanks to the vacuum, like the MISO SOUP IN JAR COOKING or the LEEK AND POTATO SOUP IN JAR COOKING.
While writing this article, I am testing the cooking of rice with beans and escarole. Once the jar was opened, I added Carnaroli rice and a little water, cooked it and let it post-cook. By tomorrow, I will open the jar and let you know how it turned out. In the meantime, enjoy the bean and escarole soup in jar cooking.
Now, ready, jars, and go!

How to make Cannellini Bean and Escarole Soup in Jar Cooking
Peel the garlic clove and chop it, also chop the chili pepper and distribute them in the small bowl, add the oil and brown in the microwave for 1 minute at 750 watts. In the meantime, wash, drain, and coarsely chop the escarole.
Distribute the browned mixture, beans and part of their liquid, escarole, salt, pepper, and water in the jar. Mix the contents, clean the rim of the jar, close it, and secure it.
Set the microwave to your tested power (the water test is explained HERE), for me 750 watts, insert the jar and start cooking for 8 minutes. At the end, let the closed jar rest for 20 minutes. During this time, the recipe will finish cooking and the vacuum will form. Once at room temperature, you can store it in the refrigerator or open it, as per procedure, and enjoy.
