Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

[heart_this] · Mar 15, 2017 · 33 Comments

Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

A simple and tasty corned beef and cabbage soup!

Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and with the chilly weather I figured it was the perfect time to make a nice big pot of corned beef and cabbage soup! This is a super simple soup that relies on the flavour of the corned beef which is slowly braised until it’s melt in your mouth tender and oh so good! After the beef I load this soup up with veggies including the standard onions, carrots and celery in addition to plenty of cabbage, which goes so well with the corned beef. I like to fill out this stew with potatoes or cauliflower, celeriac or even barley making for one hearty comforting meal! This Saint Patrick’s Day curl up with a bowl of corned beef and cabbage soup!

    This soup looks so good. Would it really mess up the soup to use Top quality corned beef from the deli? Where I live it is about 80 mile round trip to a reliable source of raw corned beef.

      Hi Kevin, I love your recipes and plan on trying this one too.
      Do you add the pickling juices into the broth with the corned beef? The recipe is silent on this, but references the raw corned beef in ‘pickling juices’. I’m assuming this is left out of the soup, but am not sure.
      Thanks.

    Kevin, I asked about using top quality deli corned beef, i.e., Boars head in place of raw. Would you please answer. Thanks.

    nonna23: You can use deli corned beef and the cook time would be reduced to until the veggies are tender.

    Do you put the pickle juices into the soup as well or do you drain the juices first. Im assuming you add all of the juices as this would add to the flavour. No? Yes?

    Just made this, and it is super delicious. Next time, I would leave out any salt. Mine had plenty without adding any more. Super easy to make, and wonderful, especially on a chilly night. Thanks, Kevin!

    In one comment you say you do not add pickling juices and the. In another you say to add them. Which is it?
    Please respond as I would love to try this—looks so good!

      The corned beef here usually comes in a vacuum sealed package with very little pickling juices in it. I generally cut the bag open slide the beef out, dice it and place it into the soup without worrying about the pickling juice/spices. I do not try to reserve the pickling juices to place into the soup. Enjoy!
