How to make Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

1. In a large stockpot or dutch oven over medium-high heat, pour the olive oil. Add the onion and cook the onion until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring as needed to avoid burning.

2. To the skillet, add the remaining ingredients, adding the amount of stock for your desired consistency. Cook until heated through.

Tips & Tricks

  • ✔ Use Leftover Corned Beef – This soup is perfect for repurposing corned beef from a traditional boiled dinner. If you don’t have leftovers, deli-style corned beef can also work in a pinch!
  • ✔ Adjust the Broth – If you prefer a thicker soup, use less stock. If you like it brothy, add an extra cup of chicken stock to thin it out.
  • ✔ Let the Flavors Meld – While this soup is delicious right away, it tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend.
  • ✔ Serve with Bread – A warm slice of Irish soda bread or crusty sourdough is the perfect pairing for soaking up all that flavorful broth.
  • ✔ Make It Your Own – Try adding a splash of Guinness, a bay leaf, or even some Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor!
