Super tasty and creamy Instant Pot pea soup with pan-fried Frankfurter sausages (aka hot dogs) will quickly become a family favorite meal. This nutritious soup is quick, easy and can be made with frozen or fresh peas. We also topped it with croutons and fresh herbs, plus an extra dollop of cream. Gluten-free and vegetarian options included. Enjoy and let us know in the comments if you like this recipe; you can rate it too.


Green Pea Soup With Frankfurter Sausages (Instant Pot Recipe)

This soup is inspired by the classic ham and pea soup but we used grilled Frankfurter hot dog sausages instead of ham. It's a family-friendly soup that your kids will love. It's one of those quick and easy meals that you can make on any weeknight in just half an hour. 

As well as peas (fresh or frozen), we used leeks, Parmesan and sour cream (you can also use regular heavy cream, Greek yogurt or creme fresh). Blended into a puree, it's creamy and delicious and served with pan-fried sliced hot dogs and croutons.

You can use any type of hot dogs (pork, beef, mixed etc) and these can be pan-fried, grilled or boiled. We provided a gluten-free and vegetarian option in the recipe notes. And, of course, you can also make this soup on a stovetop.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time15 minutes mins
Total Time30 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 635kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 leeks pale green and white bulb parts only, chopped
  • 2 oz. unsalted butter 50 g
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1.2 lbs. frozen peas 550 g
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 liter chicken stock (or half chicken/half vegetable)
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup sour cream creme fraiche or heavy cream (double cream)
  • 0.8 lb. frankfurter sausages hot dogs, pork or beef, 400 g
  • To serve: Croutons see notes and fresh herbs of choice

Instructions

  • Turn the Instant Pot on and press the Sauté function key. Once the bottom is hot, add the butter and leeks and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften. Season with salt.
  • Add the frozen peas, a little pepper, 2 bay leaves and a litre or so of chicken stock. You can also do half chicken and half vegetable stock. Stir through and press the Cancel button to stop the Sauteeing.
  • Pop the lid on top, lock and set to Manual/Pressure Cook on HIGH pressure for 2 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure (if you use hot stock, it's much quicker) and then the timer will begin. Once done, release the pressure manually right away (quick release).
  • While the soup is cooking, pan-fry the Frankfurter sausages in a little oil until crispy brown. Remove from a pan and set aside. Prepare all other ingredients.
  • Open the lid and stir the soup. Add lemon juice and Parmesan cheese and puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. You can also transfer the soup (in batches if needed) to a blender or food processor.

Notes

You can use ready-made croutons or cut some stale bread into cubes and pan-fry in a little butter with salt and dried herbs until crispy. It's a great way to use up the leftovers. Try out homemade croutons recipe here.
VEGETARIAN VERSION: Instead of using Frankfurter sausages, pan-fry vegetarian hot dogs, tofu or tempeh. Grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas can also be added for extra protein.
GLUTEN-FREE: Swap the croutons for gluten-free version or use some chickpeas or broken crackers.
LOWER-CALORIE: Use reduced-fat hot dog links, low-fat sour cream and 1 oz. of butter instead of 2 oz.
