Background

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.
