Ingredients
  

Colcannon Soup Ingredients
  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage or kale
  • 4 slices turkey bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 slices green onions sliced for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until soft.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer until potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cabbage or kale. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled turkey bacon and sliced green onions.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and omit the turkey bacon. This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread.
