Pea soup with bacon
Description
A hearty first course. Ideally, the pea soup with bacon should turn out a beautiful, rich color, resembling a liquid puree, yet containing some whole, uncooked peas. Serve the pea soup with bacon hot, with bread and sour cream. It can also be served with croutons made from white bread. Happy cooking :)
