While I love soup served in a bowl with crusty bread and butter, I often like to serve it as a kind of canap\u00e9: chilled in shot glasses. That way, the soup goes a long way. It can also be made and assembled the day or so before:\u00a0perfect for entertaining!<\/p>\n

The bacon is added with the onions as they gently fry, imparting a lovely smoky flavour. For extra flavour you can keep the fat on the bacon but make sure it renders down into the onions. The bacon rashers later get removed and is scattered on top for serving. If you prefer, you could use\u00a0Chorizo or cooked ham.<\/p>\n

Once the soup is blitzed in a food processor, I prefer to pass it through a sieve to give a very smooth soup. You can omit the sieving if you wish, though. However, the strained pea \u201cremains\u201d do not get wasted in this house: I tend to mix them with chopped onions, garlic, egg and a little flour and fry them off as little patties.<\/p>\n
