Pea soup with smoked bacon
Description
Hearty first course. To prepare pea soup with smoked bacon, I use split peas—primarily because they cook faster and make the soup richer. It's advisable to soak the peas beforehand to reduce cooking time. I recommend adding dill to the soup, either dried or fresh, for extra aroma.
