Cheese Soup / PancettaRayn 10-09-2009, 03:44 PM I have a recipe for a Canadian cheddar cheese soup which originally said one should use bacon in it. I couldn't find chunk cuts of bacon like I wanted so I bought some pancetta. I'm thinking if I brown it and drain it, it'll work ok in the cheese soup. Have I made an error? I'll use it for something else if it sounds poor. Falhawk 10-09-2009, 03:58 PM how thick is it? It might be too salty and you'll miss the smokiness of bacon, IMO Rayn 10-09-2009, 04:20 PM 1/4 inch thick. I was going to very finely dice it. Rayn 10-09-2009, 04:21 PM Fuck I meant to write pancetta. Java 10-09-2009, 04:54 PM it certainly won't make the soup taste bad - it will just be slightly different. like falhawk said, you just won't be getting the smokiness. Falhawk 10-09-2009, 05:54 PM Fuck I meant to write pancetta. haha I almost suggested using pancetta instead Paladin-5 10-09-2009, 07:34 PM pancetta is magical gabe 10-14-2009, 05:08 PM how do you make cheese soup?
