  Old World Escarole Soup

  Escarole is a broad-leafed member of the endive family and can be pricey when not in season. For a super soup at a budget price, use cabbage, kale or spinach in place of the escarole.

  Fresh dill may cost more than you want to spend. Instead, buy good-quality dried dill. Choose a brand with a freshness date and one where the herb is green, not dull. Store in the freezer.

  You can keep a lid on odors in the refrigerator if you store onions in a screw-top glass jar. Dont store them in plastic as the odor will permeate the plastic and affect the taste of other food.
