Spring Pea Soup with Bacon Croutons
This fast, fresh-tasting soup is greatly enhanced with a few bacon fat–gilded croutons. If you don’t save your bacon fat for cooking, butter works as well, especially if you season the finished soup with a smoked salt. If a slightly more indulgent soup is in order, substitute crème fraîche for the yogurt. Slideshow: Recipes for Peas
