At first glance, it seems that adding bay leaves to soup is not difficult.
However, this opinion is not entirely correct.
Chef, fourth-class baker, and culinary expert Yulia Arkhipova reported that the taste of a dish depends on the correct addition of bay leaves to soup.

The specialist explained exactly when to add bay leaf to the soup so that the resulting meal turns out incredibly aromatic.
Take note
First, consider the fact that the bay leaf needs to be washed before adding it to the dish. Any water will do, including hot water.
Next, you need to throw the bay leaf into the soup when there are 5-15 minutes left until it is ready.
This way, the spice will not boil down and lose its aromatic properties, but will give the dish an exquisite and very bright taste.
Use these tips and your family will sweep your soup off the table in no time.
