Ingredients for this soup can be found commonly in the hills of Emilia-Romagna where celery, mushrooms and truffles thrive and pork is king. There it would be called minestra del sedano-rapa and in keeping with the Italian model of cooking a few simple but high quality ingredients produce the best flavors.
