United Kingdom Broad Bean and Bacon Soup
Broad bean and bacon soup is a traditional way to take advantage of the broad bean season that runs from June to August in the United Kingdom. The creamy and hearty soup can be puréed in whole or in part to thicken it, and the bacon garnish adds a saltiness to the otherwise mild flavor.
