Description
A comforting Irish soup that combines the savory flavor of cabbage and creamy potatoes with smoky beef bacon, perfect for cold weather.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of beef bacon, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
- 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the diced beef bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving rendered fat in the pot.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Incorporate the diced potatoes and chopped cabbage, stirring to coat with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Pour in the beef broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use a potato masher to partially mash the potatoes for a thicker soup, if desired.
- Stir in the reserved beef bacon and heat through before serving.
