Ingredients:
1 pound dried lentils
2 medium onions, chopped
1 celery stalk, diced
1 Tablespoon parsley, chopped
16 ounce can stewed tomatoes
2 beef bouillion cubes
6 Cups water
2 Cups Coca-Cola
1 Tablespoon salt
3/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (optional)
1 pound hot dogs, sliced into bite sized pieces
1 teaspoon oil
Directions:
Pick over lentils, then wash and drain.
Combine all ingredients together, except oil and hot dogs, in a 5 or 6 quart pan. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Heat oil in a large skillet and brown hot dog pieces. Add to soup and cook for 10 minutes longer.
Variations: If desired, you can use a ham bone in the cooking water to make a stock, but be sure to omit the bouillon cubes. If ham bone has a lot of ham on it, you should also omit hot dogs.
