    The soup was easy enough to make although I could not find pancette
    anywhere so I substited bacon. The
    soup was o.k. something I will not
    make again though.

    Easy to make, excelent flavor. Hearty and delicious. A must try and you will make it again. One note. take care adding salt. The Pancetta and Parmesain may be enough.

    BRAVA!!

    This Minestrone is pleasantly different than traditional recipies. The pancetta and roesmary adds a wonderfullly smokey, fall taste. It's easy and enjoyable to make will taste the tastes buds of everybody.

    I love how her cooking is "almost" from scratch. Thank God I don't have to make my own beef broth...loving the canned veggies too.

    very easy to make, delicious, and if you cannot find swis chard, try using escarole or nothing as a substitue, it is a really healthy and good soup.

    It's hard for me to find a minestrone that I like without having to go to a high-end restaurant. The cans? Their sauce is like watered-down catsup with llimp vegetables. My local Whole Foods makes a fresh and very good minestrone, but it's a hassle to park there (I'm in DC, and theirs doesn't have that last little thing I look for in a minestrone--a middle-weight broth balanced between hearty and bright flavor, a wide array of fresh vegetables, and a small but noticeable spice-bite and the end.

    I know, I said I liked as "fresh" as possible. Next time I'll do the beans from scratch, but the canned Progresso cannelini (I also added Allen's brand dark red kidneys worked fine. I made other slight alterations--I used 2/3 beef broth, the remainder chicken--also not fresh--from Kitchen Basics. I held off on the garlic in the initial saute--I didn't want burned garlic. I prepared this recipe with prosciutto instead of pancetta, and didn't use much at all--maybe an ounce or two. I tripled the amount of Parmigiano rinds--key--and threw in a handful of tubetti pasta. The final result was great!

    This is a wonderful Fall/Winter starter, or main course serve with a nice crusty bread. Alot of ingredients, but eay to make. I prefer it with two cans of Canneloni beans. Everyone loved it.
