Don't Turn Food Into Poison: When to Throw Bay Leaves in Soup and How Long You Can Keep Them There
Adding bay leaf to soup at the wrong time can hopelessly ruin the taste of the dish.
When to throw bay leaves into soup and when to remove the spice, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, a cook, and a fourth-class baker.
How to Properly Add Bay Leaves to Soup
Bay leaf is added to the soup almost at the very end, 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
If you add the spice later, it will not have time to give off its aroma; if you add it earlier, the soup may turn out bitter.
Also, bitterness will appear if you do not remove the bay leaf from the finished soup.
It should be taken into account that this spice should not be consumed by pregnant women, as it can cause a miscarriage.
Bay leaf is also poisonous to pets. Never feed your pets food that contains this spice.
