  Just gave this a go... added some smokey bacon to onions (instead of pancetta) and quarter teaspoon lazy garlic. Result! Nice, winter warmer that I'll definitely do again.

  Very easy and filling, but couldn't get it to taste very strongly of anything.

  I always read other peoples comments before I start a new recipe so I used a small amount of chilli oil and 2 fat gloves of garlic which gave the soup a lovely background heat. I had no chicken stock cubes so used a very dilute solution of chicken gravy granules. I love the end result - a smooth textured soup similar to chicken soup but without the chicken. Love making soups now autumn has arrived - so healthy and hearty on a cold wet day.

  I thought it was awful, it tasted horribly...I might try to make it with dried beans to see if that is better than the tin

  Just cooked and ate this soup. Both me and my husband loved this and would definitley cook it again. I just added a touch of chilli and black pepper. I also didn't have any chives so I added a few shakes of mixed herbs. The Panchetta really added to the flavour and shouldnt be missed! yum :)
