How to make Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup:

Be sure to scroll to the end of this post to print out the complete recipe. The first thing you’ll do is sauté sliced sweet onions in a little bit of oil. Then you’ll add shredded cabbage, grated potatoes and chicken broth and let it all simmer until the vegetables are tender. While the soup is simmering, the corned beef is browned until crispy in a hot skillet. Finally, carrots and half and half are added to the soup for a bit more simmering. And the crisped corned beef is added in at the end.

What if you don’t have leftover corned beef?

It’s okay!  You can go to the deli in your local market and ask them to cut you some of the deli corned beef. Ask for your corned beef to be cut thickly, and then you can create perfectly good chunks for making this Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup.

Whether you make this for dinner tonight or you make it tomorrow with your corned beef leftovers, it’s a delicious option for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
