The German Green Pea Soup Cologne Style is a special soup recipe from the Rhineland. They call it “Ähzezupp”, in high German “Erbsensuppe”. This soup is ideal for fall and winter and tastes great with sausages. In the Rhineland they use the smoked Mettwuerstchen (Mett sausages) which we found at BavariaSausage.com. They can be out of stock as they are special sausages. In such a case use Brats, Kielbasa or Wiener sausages. Happy Cooking!
