Pea soup with hunter's sausages - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute hunter's sausages with smoked sausage, kielbasa, or any other flavorful sausage. The taste may vary slightly, but it will still be delicious.
To make this soup vegetarian, omit the hunter's sausages and use vegetable broth instead of water. Add smoked paprika or liquid smoke for a similar depth of flavor.
Leftover pea soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Yes, this soup freezes well. Cool it completely, then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Pea soup pairs well with crusty bread, a fresh salad, or a dollop of sour cream. For a heartier meal, add a side of grilled cheese sandwiches.
For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the sausages and herbs. This will thicken it while keeping some texture.
This recipe uses dried peas for thickness, but you can use frozen peas for a quicker version. Reduce cooking time and adjust liquid as frozen peas cook faster.
