I made this today and it was really delicious. I omitted the pancetta, and used a vegetable bouillon cube instead of beef broth. I also didn't have a parmesan cheese rind (which I know would have made a difference but I just sprinkled some parmesan in the serving bowls. I also didnt some of the beans but rather just added all of them in whole. Served with Giada's lemon parsley bruschetta (which I made with basil.

I made this on a rainy summer day and it was EXCELLENT! I omitted the pancetta because there are vegetarians in my household, but could not tell that the flavor of the soup suffered any. Can't wait to make it again.

Warm up your kitchen on a cold day with this recipe. Unique, easy to fix, and low fat.

This is a wonderful and comforting soup recipe. There is a lot of prep work, but then there often is for soup recipes. Once the vegetables are chopped, it goes together in no time. It's a great way to use up that last bit of parmesan hovering in your fridge.

Excellent soup! I substituted proscuitto for pancetta & kale for swiss chard. Delicious! I passed the recipe on to a girlfriend - she loved it as well.

This was easy to make. I added small shell pasta at the end and it was great.

I followed this recipe with only a few changes. I added about 2 T of minced garlic instead of just 2 garlic cloves minced. Also use a 1/2 inch slice of pancetta chopped, as well as three thin slices of pancetta. Added 2 T McFadden Farms 100% organic Soup and Bean Herbs and a bay leaf. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written and it was delicious. Will definitely make it again--it's a keeper!!!

I am not a big fan of greens like chard and kale, but this delicious soup made me a fan. I used a bunch of baby chard mixed with baby spinach and it was delicious. I doubled the tomatoes and added a tiny bit more beef broth. It almost tasted too delicious to be healthy, but it is indeed good for you. The pancetta adds a subtle flavor without making the soup fattening. The parmesan is key--including sprinkling it on top before you eat it. Definitely doesn't need extra salt, but lots of ground pepper was yummy. I needed a little more time to cook the potatoes; I might chop them smaller next time. Anyway, good soup!
