Green Bean and Pancetta Soup



Pancetta is a tasty, tasty addition to anything. I say any fatty pork product is a delicious addition.
Green Beans, Pancetta, and Truflle Oil made into a creamy soup.

Fry Pancetta in pan.
Add garlic.
Add green beans,(about 2 1/2 pounds) butter, and truffle oil.
Sautee all ingredients together until beans are cooked through, but still crisp.
Pour all ingredients into blender/Cuisinart and blend thoroughly.
Pour into pot and add two bay leaves.
Pour in about a half cup of heavy cream.
Simmer about 20 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Remove bay leaves.
Drizzle with Truffle Oil and serve.

looks delicious. i always love how garnishing a soup with oil (olive, truffle, etc.) leads to that pretty "beading" effect. good stuff.
