MY Italian mother would make this quite often. She made the white version without the tomatoes. I've always preferred it that way and have made it several times myself.
I like this meatless version and will alter it to exclude the oil and chicken stock.
I'm a bit leery because the Italian bacon or procuitto added so much flavor.
