		+
		+	Here, under the wire, is my White Bean Soup with Pancetta and Rosemary.
		+
		+	I got to thinking about how beans and pork go well together. So I decided to make an Italian version of a split pea soup, using white beans and pancetta instead of split peas and bacon.
		+
		+	==Ingredients==
		+
		+	[[image:wbs1.jpg]]
		+
		+	*2 cups of white (navy) beans
		+	*6 cups of water
		+	*1.5 cups pancetta, roughly chopped
		+	*2 Tbsp Olive Oil
		+	*1 large Vidalia or Spanish Onion
		+	*1 cup white wine
		+	*6 cups cooking liquid of choice
		+	*3 sprigs of rosemary
		+	*1 cup heavy cream
		+
		+	[[image:wbs2.jpg]]
		+	[[image:wbs3.jpg]]
		+
		+	==Method==
		+
		+	1) Rinse beans in water. Remove broken beans or stones. Soak 2 cups of white or navy beanies in water for 12 hours or so. To soften the beans quickly, add to a pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for an hour.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs4.jpg]]
		+
		+	2) Roughly chop pancetta into chunks.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs5.jpg]]
		+
		+	3) Add 2 tbsp EVOO to soup pot. There should be plenty of fat in the pan not to burn.
		+
		+	4) Once pancetta is cripsy, remove and place on plate covered with paper towel. Make sure the fat from the pancetta is still in the pan.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs6.jpg]]
		+	[[image:wbs7.jpg]]
		+
		+	5) Add onion and sweat. DO NOT SAUTE. The only brown you see (LOL BROWN) should be from the pancetta fat, not from the caramelization of the onions.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs8.jpg]]
		+	[[image:wbs9.jpg]]
		+
		+	6) Add I cup of white wine to deglaze all of the bacony-goodness from the pot.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs10.jpg]]
		+
		+	7) Add 6 cups of cooking liquid to the pot(I used 5 cups chicken stock and 1 cup vegetable broth because I like the flavour of the broth). Season with salt, depending on the saltiness of the cooking liquid. Add freshly groud pepper.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs11.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	8) Add beanies.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs12.jpg]]
		+
		+	9) Bruise 3 whole stocks of rosemary with the back of your knife. Tie into a bunch with butchers twine and deposit into broth.You could just chop the rosemary leaves up and add to the soup, but I wanted the soup to be mostly white, so I just bruised the stalks to get some of the oils out. I tied them into a bundle to make fishing them out of the pot easier.

		+	[[image:wbs14.jpg]]
		+
		+	Later...
		+
		+	[[image:wbs15.jpg]]
		+
		+	10) Once contents of pot are brought to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beans are nice and tender.
		+
		+	Now, things to do while you wait:
		+	Ogle the cat!
		+
		+	[[image:wbs16.jpg]]
		+
		+	Threaten a novelty mug!
		+
		+	[[image:wbs17.jpg]]
		+
		+	Do a Jumble!
		+
		+	[[image:wbs18.jpg]]
		+
		+	11) Remove from heat and blend in a food processor, blender or, as I've used, an immersion blender.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs19.jpg]]
		+
		+	12) Whisk in 1 cup of cream (optional, but really adds to the flavour of the dish). Add most of the pancetta, reserving some for garnish.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs20.jpg]]
		+	[[image:wbs21.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+	13) Taste and adjust seasonings.
		+
		+	[[image:wbs22.jpg]]
		+
		+	==Serving==
		+
		+	14) Serve in a bowl, add a handful of crispy pancetta to garnish. Also add chives and curls of parmesan cheese (optional, but delicious). Sit back with a nice glass of wine, dig in and warm the cockles of your black and twisted heart.
		+

		+
		+	BON APPETIT!
