Happy Saint Patrick’s Day… where here in America everybody’s Irish! All in good fun though, I really love this holiday, it always reminds me that spring is almost here. Also because I love all the food and it’s an excuse to drink green beer, I mean really that’s awesome.
But back to the food, it doesn’t all have to be about the corned beef. Cabbage and potatoes are part of an Irish staple and can be cooked in so many amazing and easy ways. Today I chose this Irish Cabbage Soup because it’s simple, light, yet full of flavor! (Also you could easily serve this alongside that corned beef ;))
I also think this soup would be healthy way to bring a little Irish flavor to your meal. You could serve it with a lean beef roast or roast chicken, if you don’t want the the fat of the corned beef.
So make up some of this tasty soup, then sit back, relax, throw on some Irish music, (maybe have a beer) and pretend you’re far away in an old Irish pub.

This is a great recipe Sarah, thanks so much for submitting this to my blog hop!
I enjoyed this recipe because I had about half a head of cabbage left over from St. Patrick’s day and did not know what to do with it. It was a tasty spin on an Irish favorite.
