- Heat the oil in a soup pan and cook the garlic gently till soft.
- Meanwhile, throw away tough green leaves from escarole. Trim the stem and pull the inner leaves apart. If they are dirty, wash them. Depending upon the texture you want in the finished soup, chop the leaves: roughly, coarsely, finely.

- Add in the boiling stock to the soup pan, cover and simmer 10 to 15 min, till the escarole is tender. Stir in the beans and a little of their liquid, if using; return the soup to a boil. Stir in the basil, taste for seasoning and serves.
