COLCANNON SOUP
Steps:
- Put the bacon in a pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon renders its fat.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the onion, leek, potato, and cabbage and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lower the heat and simmer until the potato is tender. Add the cream and simmer for a few minutes until the soup achieves a creamy texture. Remove from the heat and finish by whisking the butter cubes into the soup. (Don't re-boil the soup after adding the butter into it, or it will curdle.)
- Divide the soup among bowls, drizzle with basil oil, and garnish with the fried basil leaves.
Tips:
- Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for colcannon because they are creamy and have a slightly sweet flavor.
- To make the colcannon extra smooth, mash the potatoes with a potato ricer.
- If you don't have kale, you can use another type of leafy green, such as spinach or collard greens.
- To make the bacon butter extra flavorful, cook the bacon until it is crispy and then render the fat.
- Serve the colcannon hot with your favorite toppings, such as chives, sour cream, or shredded cheddar cheese.
Conclusion:
Colcannon is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are serving it as a main course or a side dish, colcannon is sure to be a hit.
