This looks very tasty. I have one problem though, I do not know what panchetta is. I will have to come back for the recipe, as soon as I find out what panchetta is and if I can get it in our small rural community.

I have never cooked with pancetta before, so thanks for the soup recipe. Also, I assume I add the browned pancetta to the soup last?
