    This looks like the perfect recipe however the link for the main soup recipe is not shoing in the 'goes well with' as detailed and I can't seem to find it if I search for it either. Can anyone help?!

    I will be doing this, i was already doing the butternut soup but LOVE the Pancetta wrap idea and to put in cups I was worried about having to much of the soup as a starter but this idea is fantastic and more festive!

    Family staying for several days over Christmas, made the soup in advance so I wouldn't be cooking the whole time and served as a lunch after Christmas. The flavours of the soup and the pancetta soliders went really well together. Will certainly be making this again.

    This soup looks delicious but not a good idea as a canape - small fiddly cups of hot liquid combined with crumbly dippers spell disaster for silk ties and delicate party kit. Stick to bowls on tables, is my advice.
