This weeks soup day happens to fall on St. Patrick’s Day. I toyed with the idea of making some type of corned beef and cabbage soup….or a green desert…but decided that if you want those things you are probably better at making them then me! Instead, I decided to pay homage to the humble cabbage, which as it turns out, is a pretty big part of St. Patrick’s Day!
The cabbage is perhaps one of the cheapest vegetables yet the richest when it comes to protective vitamins. It has been hailed as a cancer inhibitor, it stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria and soothes and improves circulation. Do your body a favor during these last FEW DAYS of winter and enjoy one or two of these yummy soups featuring cabbage.
Colcannon Soup….Colcannon is the gaelic word for cabbage. Colcannon is a traditional St. Patrick’s Day Dish, here in soup form. Ingredients: bacon, onions, leeks, green cabbage, garlic, white wine, chicken stock, local red potatoes, an itty bit of light cream, salt & pepper & fresh dill. Garnished with bacon and dill.
