Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (16 ounce) package hot dogs
2 (48 ounce) containers chicken broth
1 ½ cups chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, cut the hot dogs in half the short way. Slice each piece in half vertically, cutting about 3/4 of the way up towards the rounded end. Leave about 1 inch of the rounded end as the head of the octopus. Rotate the dog 90 degrees, and make another vertical cut. Cut the 4 legs in half again, to make 8 legs and a head. The hot dogs should look like tassels with rounded heads.
  • Bring the chicken broth and chives to a boil in a soup pot. Place the octopus hot dogs into the boiling soup, and simmer for about 5 minutes. The legs will curl to make the octopus shape. Serve in bowls with an octopus or 2 in each bowl.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I would have liked the soup to be a little thicker. Next time, I'll add more vegetables or use a cornstarch slurry.

The soup was delicious, but it was a little too time-consuming to make. I'll probably only make it on special occasions.

The soup was a little too spicy for my kids, but they still enjoyed it. I'll be sure to use less chili powder next time.
