3Remove from the heat and blend until smooth in a food processor. Return to the pan and stir in the cream and snipped chives, keep warm while you cook the pancetta. You can make the soup in advance and keep it in a container until it is needed but the pancetta is better cooked fresh just before you need it so it keeps it heat and crispness.

4In a hot frying pan fry the pancetta. Dont add any additional fat. While the pancetta is cooking some of its fat will cook out, drain this off at intervals as you dont want this running into your creamy soup. When the pancetta is golden and crispy it is ready.
