How Do You Make Irish Cabbage Soup?
Cabbage soup is a traditional Irish soup, especially popular during St Patrick’s Day. Green cabbage is low in calories and full of nutrients, making this one pot dish a meal in itself. Prepare ingredients for the soup. Remove core from the green cabbage. Coarsely chop the remaining cabbage leaves. Finely dice onion. Chop potatoes into 1/2″ cubes. Use a separate cutting board to roughly cut the bacon into 1/2″ pieces. Melt butter in sauce pan set on medium heat. Add onion and bacon. Saute for 8-10 minutes until onions become translucent and bacon begins to crisp. Add chopped cabbage and potatoes. Continue to saute for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in chicken or vegetable stock. If necessary, transfer ingredients to a larger stock pot if saute pan is not large enough. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
