This is a family favorite, courtesy of Family Fun Magazine, which has been in our menu line up since it was published. This is a real kid pleaser!!! Perfect with a salad and loaf of warm bread on a cold winter night. Ingredients:
1 lb hot dog |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 cup onion, chopped |
1 cup celery, chopped |
2 cups carrots, 1/2 inch slices |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
6 cups water |
2 (13 3/4 ounce) cans chicken stock |
1 lb lentils, canned, rinsed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped |
Directions:
1. The kids can help to slice up the hot dogs into 1 inch pieces by using plastic knives.
2. Start with a large soup pot. Sauté the hot dogs in the oil until they are browned. Remove the hot dogs & refrigerate. Next, sauté the onion, celery, carrots and garlic for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Add the water, stock, lentils, salt, pepper, and basil. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
4. Adjust the seasonings and add the hot dogs back in to warm them through. Serves 8 to 10.
