It's hard to find a more filling first course than pea soup.
In addition, this dish is distinguished by the presence of a very bright taste. However, there is an interesting way to make pea soup even more appetizing.
For this, chefs use an additional ingredient.
We are talking about an unexpected ingredient that most amateur cooks would not associate with pea soup.
The Secret Ingredient
Bacon will help to noticeably improve the taste of pea soup. Before adding to the dish, this product should be fried in a frying pan until it becomes "crispy", and then chopped.
There are two options for using the resulting mass. Thus, pieces of fried bacon can be thrown into a saucepan while cooking soup. Or you can pour it into a plate with an already prepared first course.
An important nuance
You need to use bacon. The presence of meat layers is important.
Don't try to add lard to pea soup. Even if you turn this product into crispy cracklings, it will hardly improve the taste of the dish. The soup will become too fatty and not very tasty.
