Easy Frankfurter soup
In Hungary one of the most popular soups is Frankfurti leves,which is a thick soup made with cabbage, potatoes and (as you have probably guessed) Frankfurters. My kids love it, but when I don’t have a cabbage or potatoes in the larder or I have very little time to make dinner, I cook them this super easy Frankfurter soup and serve it with mini dried pasta shapes (such as hoops, letters, numbers or stars) which take only 5 minutes to cook. Despite the soup not looking very pretty, it’s actually really delicious – it can be the ideal hangover remedy, too, on New Year’s Day when, according to Hungarian Tradition, eating pork brings you good luck in the coming year.
Ingredients
Method
- Clean and chop the carrots & celeriac into chunks.
- Put the chicken stock into a pan, add the carrots, garlic, celeriac and bay leaf. Bring the soup to the boil and cook for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
- Meanwhile cut the Frankfurters into 2cm pieces and cut off the ends of the beans. Add these together with the peas to the soup and cook for 5 minutes.
- Before serving remove the bay leaf and add the vinegar.
