Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Irish Bacon Cabbage Soup.
Step 1
Start by heating a large, deep stockpot or saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Toss in the diced Irish bacon and cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Once the bacon is ready, carefully drain any excess fat from the pot to keep your soup light and flavorful.
Step 4
Next, add in the cubed potatoes and diced tomatoes, including their juicy goodness.
Step 5
Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients, and season with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 6
Bring this hearty mixture to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and inviting.
Step 7
As the soup simmers, it’s time to introduce the thinly sliced Savoy cabbage.
Step 8
Stir it in and let the soup continue to simmer for just a few more minutes, allowing the cabbage to soften and meld with the other ingredients.
Step 9
Once everything is perfectly tender, ladle the soup into bowls and serve it hot, enjoying the comforting warmth and rich flavors that make this dish a true delight.
