We had something similar to this growing up. Our version was: Saute the onion along with a diced green pepper and the cut up hotdogs in a pan until the vegtables softened and the hotdogs got some carmelization. Then add the can of tomato sauce, a little worcestershire sauce, some garlic powder and some red pepper flakes. Let it cook for about 20-30 minutes and you are good to go. Great served with either rice or mashed potatoes and a veggie.

Wow, what a good idea! It was great. I replaced the beans with a can of peas though and also a can of corn. we all loved it. It was more of a stoup, and very filling in these hard times.

Really easy to make so that's a bonus! Had a lot of hot dogs in the freezer and it's the end of the month so I decided to make hot dogs. Saw this recipe and thought I would give it a try. Only had two potatoes so I used some leftover french fries from the night before. Instead of green beans I used peas. Instead of chicken broth I used a bouillon cube (beef, chicken, pork) for a nice rounded out taste. Lastly, instead of tomato sauce, I used what was left of a jar of spaghetti sauce and a jar of salsa to make 8 oz. Those alterations might have resulted in a different soup than the original, but it was well received and I could see a child really enjoying it.

This was okay. It was easy and I'm sure it would be good for kids, but it's not something you want to serve your friends for dinner.

While the end result was good, adjustment was needed along the way. 1) The main problem was that this was exceedingly bland; I alleviated this by adding bay leaves and pepper. 2) A 14.5 oz. can of chicken broth would have been too much; an 11 1/2 oz. can worked just fine. 3) Green beans are not the right vegetable for this soup, so I used mixed vegetables. 9 oz. was not enough; I used 16 oz. I'll make this again because it was simple and the kids ate it, but with the above changes.

If you love hot dogs, you will LOVE this soup. if, like me, you hate hot dogs and are looking for a recipe to make you love them - well, keep looking. This is a VERY hot-doggy soup! The soup base "sans dogs" is very yummy, though, and I think I will retry this soup using some canned flaked ham.

This received mixed reviews - need to be a green bean lover for this one. Luckily it did taste better than it looked. Suggestions were to thicken it up a bit... Maybe will try again and add a little thickening.

To me this did not sound like a very good meal my husband thought, how weird hot dog soup, said he would not like it, however I was really surprised at how good this soup did turn out and my husband loved it too!! It was very easy to prepare, I would highly recommend this recipe.
