Delicious! I only used half the pancetta and did not use potatoes but added frozen greens. Both my husband and I went back for seconds. Definitely being added to the repertoire!

Tried this recipe for the first time and it turned out perfectly. Did use a little extra broth which worked out well. Overall, a great tasting Minestrone. I'll definitely be making it again!

This is the best Minestrone recipe I have tried! I've tried several and none tasted as good as this one. I did leave out the pasta to make it a little lighter but I did add Garbanzo beans in addition to the Cannellini and I also added 1 red bell pepper and 1 orange bell pepper for some color. Definitely use fresh herbs since they taste so much better and the pancetta added a nice little background flavor. This was delicious and I'm planning to make another batch soon.
FYI - This was the first time I used pancetta and the meat dept. people at the grocery store stated they didn't carry it but I found it is carried in the deli dept. with the sliced meats.

Good recipe. It's quick and easy. I haven't made too many soups so I don't have much to compare it to. I will say that you need to double up on the broth if you plan on having leftovers. The veggies soak up the broth by the time you go to reheat it the next day. Leave the noodles out until you're ready to eat. I've made this a few times and enjoy it.

This was a delicious tasting soup. I cut the recipe in half thinking I would have tons leftover, silly me. After 2 days it is gone and now I have none to freeze for future meals. I used about a cup more broth (defrosted broth from freezer and had a bit too much and added some cabbage slaw mix I had in the fridge. I'm a vegetarian so I did not add the pancetta.

I have made this a few times, and I really like it! I have the deli guy slice the 1/4 pound pancetta thickly, and then I cube it for the saute. It works out great!

This recipe is super easy and very tasty! I've made it a few times now, each time without the pancetta (only because I didn't have it in the house. I throw in some shredded chicken to make it a bit heartier and my family loves it! I always serve the pasta on the side, so it never gets soggy. Yum!
