Recipe of the Day: Wiener Water Soup

That’s right, Wiener Water Soup. Here’s the recipe, in its glorious entirety:

• 1 pkg. wieners
• 3 c. water

Combine wieners and water in a two quart saucepan. Bring to a boil until wieners are cooked. Throw the wieners in the garbage. Serve soup. Serves 3.

Jason Kottke summed it up nicely: “Cooks.com lets anyone submit recipes.” He found it via Serious Eats, who in turn found it via Dancing at Gunpoint and Copyranter.

I think the recipe meets Gordon Ramsay’s criteria for good food, being both simple and rustic.

(This recipe reminds me of Limp Bizkit’s third album, whose title suggested that they knew their fans very, very well: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.)
