IRISH BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP



Irish Bacon And Cabbage Soup image

This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP



Bacon and Cabbage Soup image

This is a very yummy soup! It's great for a cold weather warm-you-up, delecious as s meal beginner, or wonderful as a one pot meal! I sometimes use regular bacon in place of the Canadian bacon just to change it up sometimes. I forgot to measure how much soup I got but I know I froze several quarts. The amount will be a "guestimation".

BACON AND CABBAGE SOUP

Provided by Paul Flynn

Categories     Soup/Stew     Blender     Chicken     Pork     Potato     St. Patrick's Day     Bacon     Cabbage

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1/3-pound) piece Irish bacon (available at specialty foods shops) or Canadian bacon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
5 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
4 Turkish bay leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small head Savoy cabbage, cored, thinly sliced, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, combine bacon and cold water to cover. Cover, bring to boil over moderate heat, and skim foam from surface. Reduce heat and simmer 7 minutes. Drain and cool, then cut into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
  • In 6-quart heavy stock pot over moderate heat, melt butter. Add onion and sauté, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and sauté 2 minutes. Add stock, bay leaves, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderately low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cabbage and simmer 5 additional minutes. Discard bay leaves. Working in 3 batches, in blender purée soup until smooth (using caution when blending hot liquids). Return to pot, stir in bacon, and rewarm if necessary. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Use bacon with a good amount of fat: This will help to flavor the soup and make it more hearty.
  • Don't crowd the pot when browning the bacon: This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and make it more likely to stick to the pot.
  • Use a large pot: This will give the soup plenty of room to simmer and prevent it from boiling over.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: You want the cabbage to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings as desired.
  • Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This Italian bacon cabbage soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
