Winter vegetable soup is a traditional Italian dish that is very tasty and nutritious. It is made with savoy cabbage, pancetta, carrot, onion, celery and seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper. It is a perfect comfort food for cold winter days.
Remove the tough outer leaves from the savoy cabbage, cut it in half and remove the core; cut it into thin strips and wash thoroughly; peel the carrot, wash it and slice into rounds; clean the celery, wash it and cut into thin strips or small pieces; peel the onion, wash it and slice it thinly.
Put the sliced onion and the pancetta cut into cubes in a saucepan with a little oil and sauté over moderate heat for a few minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon; add the savoy cabbage, the carrot and the celery and cover with water (about 1.5 liters), add a little salt and cook for about 30 minutes over moderate heat.
Serve the soup hot, drizzling with the remaining oil and sprinkling with a pinch of freshly ground pepper; optionally serve with lightly toasted bread croutons.
