Makkarakeitto (Hot Dog Soup)

Recipe

From Tanja Paasikas Stanaway, "I remember a special recipe from my childhood and here it is."

Ingredients

  • 5 hot dogs (cut up into cubes)
  • 5 potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 3 carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 1 onion (cut into very small pieces)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash of allspice

Directions

  • Fry hot dog pieces in a butter until brown.
  • Boil pealed potatoes until soft in a quart of water.
  • Add the hot dogs, onion, salt and pepper, and allspice.
  • Let it simmer for about 15 minutes on low heat.

This is a very economical dinner and kids love it no matter how often you make it. At least there is never a sentence "I don't like it."

"I remember eating this about once a week and I always cleaned my bowl with no problems." ~Tanja.
