Pea soup with green peas - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this pea soup without chicken to make it vegetarian?

Yes, you can easily make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken. The vegetables and broth will still create a flavorful soup. You might want to add a bit more vegetables like celery or bell pepper for extra flavor and texture.

Can I use frozen peas instead of fresh peas?

Yes, frozen peas work perfectly fine in this recipe. Add them as you would fresh peas. They may cook slightly faster, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

How long does this soup last in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, this pea soup will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Make sure to cool it completely before storing.

Can I freeze this pea soup?

Yes, this soup freezes well for up to 3 months. Cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. You may need to add a splash of water or broth when reheating as the soup can thicken.

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker or Instant Pot?

Yes, for a slow cooker, follow the steps until adding the potatoes, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. For Instant Pot, use the sauté function for the initial steps, then pressure cook on high for 10 minutes with a natural release.

What can I serve with this pea soup?

This soup is quite hearty on its own, but it pairs well with crusty bread, garlic bread, or a simple green salad for a more complete meal. For a lighter option, serve with a side of steamed vegetables.

My soup is too thick. How can I thin it?

If your soup is too thick, simply add more water or broth, a little at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Warm the liquid first to avoid cooling down the soup too much. Stir well while adding.

Can I use dried peas instead of fresh or frozen?

Yes, but you'll need to adjust the recipe. Use about 1 cup of dried peas and soak them overnight. Then, add them at the beginning with the potatoes and simmer until tender, which may take 1-2 hours. You'll also need to increase the amount of liquid significantly.
