I would not recommend this recipe. The soup is not very flavorful and it's a lot of work to make.

This soup is not worth the effort. It's bland and the pancetta is too fatty.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup was bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This soup is really good, but it's a little too thick for my taste. I would add more broth or water next time.

I made this soup exactly as the recipe said and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

This soup is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it simmer. It's the perfect soup for a busy weeknight.

I'm not usually a fan of bean soups, but this one is really good. The pancetta and vegetables add a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be making it again.

This soup is amazing! The white beans are so creamy and the pancetta adds a nice salty flavor. I also love the addition of the vegetables. It's a really well-balanced soup.
