Hungarians have a deep love for soups—they’re an essential part of our meals and a cherished tradition in every household. Whether it’s a simple broth or a hearty vegetable-packed soup, there’s always a comforting bowl waiting at the table.

This traditional Hungarian pea soup is a timeless favorite, one that my mother often made for us with homemade dumplings or csipetke (pinched noodles). It’s a dish that brings back fond memories of family dinners and cozy evenings.

If you’re short on time, don’t worry—store-bought noodles work just as well and make this recipe even quicker to prepare. This pea soup is perfect for any day of the week: it’s light, nourishing, and brimming with fresh flavors.

With a combination of smoked paprika, fresh herbs, and hearty vegetables, this dish is as satisfying as its meaty counterpart. Perfect for a cozy dinner, this recipe brings traditional Hungarian flavors to your table in a plant-based way.
