This soup was a huge hit with my family! Even my picky eater loved it. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the pancetta added a nice touch of smokiness. I will definitely be making this soup again.

Made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a smoked ham hock instead of pancetta and it was still amazing. The soup was hearty and flavorful, and the peas were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
