I agree with Abbey_Rd02, this recipe was terrible. It did not have any flavor and now we are left with a whole lot of crappy soup. We're trying to figure out how to make it work but to no avail. Suggestions are welcome!

AWFUL RECIPE! I never comment on these sort of things but after wasting all my time putting this soup together and watching it for 2 hours it came out profusley watery with no flavor. I thought 3 quarts was too much but figued the soup needed it for the beans. I guess if you tried it with less water it may work. But still feel like it is a pretty bland soup overall.

Made this for an impromtu dinner, used Pinto beans instead of cranberry. Also used cilantro instead of parsley. It rocked , I had made enough for 8 had 6 people over and the pot was empty. Highly recommed

This was really good. I omitted the Kale because my grocery store was out and I substituted kidney beans for the cranberry beans. My husband who is a meat eater loved it. The pancetta and parmesan rind are key!

Being mostly vegetarian, I was looking for a hearty meal to make. This was very good! My soup wasn't "creamy" per se, but it still was very filling and good. I used small red beans because I couldn't find cranberry beans. Give it a try!

I really love this recipe!! I didn't have cranberry beans so I substituted kidney and pinto beans for them. I cut down the cooking time by using canned beans. It turned out great!! I will make this again.

Excellent and quick to make! I substituted bacon for pancetta, use kidney and navy beans in place of cranberry beans. Recommend serving with crusty bread or grilled cheese dressed with rosemary.

Really good and a big hit at my house. I cut up the pancetta and left it in the soup. Reheated a few nights later and it was even better then!

Really good recipe! I followed it almost exactly as written but added some more tomatoes and kept the bacon pieces in the soup (used that instead of pancetta. I let it simmer 2 1/2 hours for the beans to get even softer. The soup got thicker after boiling the pasta since the starch is a thickener. Added some fresh grated asiago, Kosher salt and pepper and it was delish!

I make a lot of soups in the winter and spring. This one was okay, I added fresh basil at the end which help add some fresh flavor.
