*Traditionally, a little diced pancetta or a piece of salt pork is used in this soup. I don’t eat pork, so a pinch of smoked paprika just adds that bit of smokiness. Feel free to add ¼ to ½ cup of diced pancetta (or bacon) to the pot after the vegetables have been sautéed in Step 1. Sauté for about 5-10 minutes.
