    This is a favorite for my whole family. We don’t use pancetta as we are vegetarian but it is still delicious. 💗

    Yum yum yum! I also left out the pancetta as I didn't have any, don't think it needs it though. Thanks for a great recipe!

    This soup is delish! I only put in half the chilli flakes as there would be too much protest from the non spicy members of my family. I look forward to tasting it tomorrow as I always feel soup flavours improve overnight (this is already super delicious). I love that it’s so thick too. A meal on it's own!

    yes it tastes great the next day too!

    I just made the vegetarian version & it’s just as good (if not better!) & super delicious with or without the Parmesan

    Really enjoyed this soup, will definitely make again. Probably reduce chilli a little next time we aren’t used to using chilli.

    This soup is so delicious. My son took it to work for lunch for two weeks in a row can't get enough of it.
    A family favourite.
