Can you tell us how you changed up Carlucci's recipe? Thanks!

Sure - I haven't been able to lay my hands on the cookbook, but after making this for at least 5 years now I can tell you my changes/additions:
--Reduced the amount of butter
--Used leeks (and sometimes shallots) vs. onion
--Used pancetta not bacon
--Used veg stock not beef stock
--Added Madiera or Port (yum!)
--Added 2 egg yolks for richness/texture
--substituted garlicky rustic bread croutons for Carlucci's brown bread placed in bottom of the bowl (too soggy!)
I think that's pretty much it - I'll try to track down the original and email or post if I can find it.
PS This site is really fun - a great concept!
