Lasagna Roll-Ups

Chicken Soup with Escarole and Leeks
Most people don't know escarole from escargot, but that's okay. Just know that escarole is a delicious leafy green vegetable that's high in vitamin C. Leeks, which resemble large scallions, have a slightly oniony flavor. Here, I've used both in a main-meal soup that is filling and nutritious.
Try sprinkling a little smoked paprika over the soup before adding the cheese-it will give a sweet, smoky, slightly spicy flavor.

The slight bitterness of kale practically cries for sweetness to balance it out—persimmons are perfect and play well with the lime juice, prosciutto, and feta. Crisping the prosciutto adds a textural contrast.
