Colcannon Soup image

Adding cabbage or Kale makes this a real St Patrick's day treat. Ham also works well instead of bacon.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 oz bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces, amount can be adjusted to taste
5 yukon gold or red potatoes, diced, these types of potatoes have a better texture for soup than russet
1 small onion diced
1 stick butter or margarine
1 Tbsp wondra flour
1/2 c heavy cream
1/4 head of cabbage or kale or combo of both
2 c milk
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp moroccan seasoning or fresh ground corriander and pepper flakes
2 Tbsp butter for frying pan, you can add a little olive oil to keep butter from getting too brown

Steps:

  • 1. Dice onions and potatoes, no need to peel the potatoes unless you prefer them that way. Shred the cabbage add all to a frying pan and cook just until potatoes begin to get soft. Season with salt and pepper and half Moroccan seasoning
  • 2. While the veggies are cooking, make a thin bechamel sauce with the butter, flour, and milk. Melt butter, add flour and cook on medium for about a minute. Add Milk and stir until it comes to a gentle boil and begins to coat the spoon, add the rest of the Moroccan seasoning. Add the heavy cream and simmer.
  • 3. Add the veggies, if the bacon has gotten the vegetables too greasy, drain and pat the vegetables, then add them to the liquid. Bring to a gentle boil. Do NOT cover. Turn heat down to medium low, or what ever setting your stove needs to keep the pot at a very gentle boil. If you boil it too hard the cream and milk solids will separate and the soup will be grainy.
  • 4. Cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. You can top this with Sour Cream and Chives when serving. You can also leave out the cabbage and add sour cream and chives to soup in pot then serve it with sour cream, chives, and bacon bits on top; to make it a "Loaded Potato Skins" soup
  • 5. If the soup seems too thick adding more milk is A-Ok!

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The colcannon soup was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making this again!

This colcannon soup was an absolute delight! The flavors of the cabbage, potato, and bacon blended perfectly, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the leeks, which gave the soup a subtle oniony flavor.
