Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces hot dogs
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Slice the hot dogs into coins and add them to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots and celery into small pieces.
Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
Rinse and drain the canned kidney beans.
Stir the kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and broth into the pot.
Add the oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Return the browned hot dogs to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the soup just before serving for a fresh garnish.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
