3. In a medium bowl stir together the sour cream, soy sauce, Tabasco pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Add the cooled onions and stir to combine. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
4. To serve, stir half of the crumbled bacon into the dip, and garnish with the remaining bacon. Serve with crackers, chips or toasted baguette.
