I made this for my friend who is recuperating from knee surgery - she rated it 5 stars. I thought it was a little too "soupy" and I wish I'd been able to use the correct ingredients (I subbed bacon for pancetta and dried herbs for fresh). My DH thought it should be 4.5 stars. I will make this again and re-rate when I find authentic pancetta!<br/>And now 7 months later, I had all the correct ingredients and it was absolutely wonderful!!
