A friend of mine just told me how to make this last week. She was watching our kids one evening at dinner time, and had made this soup that she said they loved. I couldn't believe how easy it was. While I was making it, I kept thinking, "This can't be good with such basic ingredients" . But it is.
Ingredients:
1lb package of dry beans-can be lentils, or a combination pack. I use a 15 bean bag.
1 package of hot dogs- The yummy kind.
1 link of sausage -I'm talking the big fat link sausage that's like 6-8" long and 1" thick
Directions:
1. Rinse the dry beans to eliminate any small stones or debris.
2. Place the beans in a large pot and cover them with 2" water.
3. Bring to full boil then turn down but keep it boiling for an hour to soften the beans. You may want to skim off some of the foam after a while.
4. Cut up the hot dogs and sausage and put them in with the beans. Let simmer for another 1 1/2 hours. Add water as necessary for desired thickness.
Enjoy!
