POTATO AND CABBAGE COLCANNON SOUP RECIPE

Irish Potato Soup

Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish of mashed potatoes blended with cabbage. This recipe combines the identical flavors, but the potatoes are used to make a thick and creamy Irish soup and mixed with cabbage for a dish this is hearty enough for dinner.

The potatoes are cooked in broth and then blended to make the bottom for the soup. Then the cabbage is sauteed and mixed with the potatoes. I delivered a little little bit of cream to make the broth richer, and then topped it off with some thyme and pepper.

The soup is very tasty, and full of vegetables. It makes an first rate meatless meal for the Lenten season, especially since it's miles Irish inspired, and St. Patrick’s day falls in the course of Lent.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion
• 4 cups cabbage, about 1/4 of a cabbage
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 cup cream

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Add to a sauce pan with salt, pepper, vegetable broth and water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
3. While the potatoes cook dice the onions and cut the cabbage into thin slices.
4. When the potatoes are done pour the potato mixture into a blender and set aside for a little while to cool.
5. Turn the heat on the sauce pan down to medium low and add the olive oil.
6. Saute the onions for 2-3 minutes, then add the cabbage and thyme, and cook for 10 minutes.
7. Turn the blender on and blend the potato mixture until smooth.
8. Return the potato mixture to the sauce pan and mix with the cabbage.
