Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

My St. Patrick's Day table is set for our Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup. 

I've used my lucky leprechaun that my sweet sister sent me from Ohio.   The harp vase was sent from a dear blogging friend.  The "Irish" blocks are from Hobby Lobby.

My shamrock light-up wall decor is from Target, years ago!

How about some Rosemary Bread, which is placed on a beautiful dish from our dear daughter?  The recipe can be found here. 

Our Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup is served in our English Ironstone Brentwood, by Adams, soup bowls.  I bought these back in the 1970's, loving the delicate shamrocks around the edges. 

 
When my dear hubby and I visited North Carolina this past August, we visited the town of Hendersonville. This town has so many good restaurants and one that we enjoyed was Hannah Flanagan's Irish Pub.   I ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup and loved the flavor.  While there, I quickly wrote down what the ingredients were in the soup and tried to duplicate it when we got home.  Here's my version of this delicious soup. 

1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 celery stalk,  chopped
about 3/4-1 lb. deli corned beef, sliced in 1/2"  thick slices and then chopped
1/2-3/4 green cabbage, sliced and chopped
2 boxes (32 oz.) chicken stock or broth
salt and pepper to taste

Put all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.

There's always room for some chocolate covered almonds, served in a pretty shamrock candy dish from another dear friend. 

I am sharing this with:

  3. Kitty, I'm passing the soup recipe on to my niece. She is making corned beef and cabbage for the first time. I'm so proud of her, and she asked my mom and me for a "recipe". The rosemary bread sounds wonderful! Love your dishes too!

  7. Hi Kitty!

    I've really enjoyed seeing your pretty Irish items all this month. I think I have that same book on Ireland & I forgot to put it out. I still have time before the BIG DAY!!

  9. Your Leprechaun is so neat. Is he made of fabric? Anyway, he makes a great centerpiece with the book and Irish blocks. Gosh, gotta try your recipe for corned beef and cabbage soup looks delicious. I have some deli corned beef left over, so that will work out great. Thanks for the recipe. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

  12. Kitty, Your entire blog is looking so happy and original! I feel like I'm right in a cozy kitchen waiting for a bowl of that delicious soup! I love corned beef and cabbage and carrots! Pass me some bread, too, please! Happy St. Patty's day to you! Linda

  14. I'm with Marlis! Those bowls AND chargers are really pretty!!!! I love blue & white dishes, so those are right up my alley! I wish I could eat corned beef!!! :-( Your recipe sounds so good, and it would be such an easy prep, too. Think about poor little pitiful me with each mouthful. Pitiful me...no corned beef...just cabbage and bread...no corned beef whatsoever....sad me. :-) Nah, just kidding! Enjoy your wonderful soup! The bread looks delicious, too!!! I'm going to TRY to make bread in our bread maker this weekend for Sunday. Don't bother wishing me the luck of the Irish on that one...I think we ALL know how it's going to turn out! :-) :-) :-) Happy St. Patrick's Day, Kitty!

  17. Oh, I love those soup bowls! That's a new pattern to me, and it's a lovely one! The soup sounds delish, too. I will forward the recipe to my husband (our chef). He's planning corned beef and cabbage, so maybe he can combine the leftovers!

  18. Oh, Kitty! I can smell that Rosemary Bread right now - yum!! I think the soup is a grand idea for St. Patrick's Day and those bowls are so adorable! I, too, enjoy the area around Hendersonville. I love the landscapes, but the shopping there and in Asheville is great!

  20. Yum! Your soup looks and sounds delish. My hubby would love it! He's not going to get his CB&C this year because I am not able to do any cooking these days. There's always next year. The rosemary bread looks good too. Thank you for sharing at my HOME and Happy St. Patrick's Day, my friend.

    Blessings,

  30. Looks just delicious, Kitty! I love what cabbage adds to soups. I put it in my minestrone and my beef vegetable. I don't know why I never thought about using deli corned beef for soup, but I'll definitely be giving this one a try! Love those dishes, too. I've never seen shamrocks in a blue & white colorway. Two of my favorite things in one plate! I'll have to check to see if they still make them. Stopping by from Kathleen's party. Thanks for the yummy recipe! ~Mary
