This was good, but takes a while to make. I think if I make again I will use canned beans. I actually probably overcooked my beans, because they were taking too long, so I upped the heat and then they got a bit mushy. But I love kale in soups and this very flavorful. It was my first time using pancetta in a recipe and I liked it. Although I think bacon would be good too.

For a quicker version though Everyday Food has a good recipe too. Maybe not as perfect, but tasty regardless.
