Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices Irish bacon or thick-cut bacon diced
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 cups cabbage chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced Irish bacon and cook until crispy.

  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  4. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

Notes

Feel free to substitute regular bacon or turkey bacon for a lighter option. For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or smoked paprika for extra flavor!
