Italian Bean Pancetta Cabbage Soup, a delicious homemade healthy soup, made with dried beans, spices, cabbage & pancetta (bacon).Comfort Food.

Here we are the first Monday of the Month and time to share our ingredient for March. This month Tasty Creations has chosen Cabbage. So I decided to share an Italian Bean Pancetta Cabbage Soup.

I love beans, every kind of bean, from Borlotti, to Chickpeas to Black beans and everything in between. I was never a lover, until I came to Italy.

My mother-in-law would make the best Bean Salad in the summer that I think I make at least once a week.

I have to tell  you though, whenever I make my bean soups or salads I always use either dried and let them sit in water over night or frozen.

That’s why dried beans are perfect for soups, all the flavours can mingle together, especially in this Bean Pancetta Cabbage Soup.

I use canned for only one reason and that’s to make my Chili. But dried are the best and it’s  what I prefer and tastes better. They do take longer to cook but so worth it.

      I am not familiar with borlatti beans. Is there a substitute a Texas girl can use?

        Hi Cecille sure you could use kidney or pinto beans as a substitute. Hope that helps, have a great weekend.

      Yes, Indeed we are bean lovers. Perhaps I like them so much because mamma used them a lot. They were economical and oh so good for us. And I don’t remember ever having anything other than dried beans. They are so much better for us and tastier too. I believe the only thing we didn’t have beans in was dessert. 🙂 Buona Dominica!
