Pancetta (optional) - since minestrone is a vegetable soup it's a perfect meal for lent. So pancetta, guanciale or lard cut in cubes is completely optional, but it gives an incredible rich, intense flavor to the veggies as if they were cooked in meat stock (which by the way is also an option). This is a very good minestrone soup. It is a little unusual to add cream (I think) but it was very very good. I made it up to the puree step the night before.
