I just made this was missing the celery and Proscuitto so I skipped the celery and added 6 strips of lean bacon in its place. I also pureed one can of beans with the chicken broth instead of mashing for a smoother texture. It was awesome, I used sweet sausage but wanted a little heat so added a couple dashes of crushed red pepper flakes to the soup for the final 5 min. of simmering. One tip, use fresh Thyme if you can the aromatic value boosts the flavor well, dried works, but the fresh is soooo much better!
