I'm looking for 2 dynamite soup recipes Potato soup, and Cabbage soup. I'm not looking for recipes from these cooking shows, where you can't find half the ingredients ( or can't pronounce them) Maybe one of Grandma's old, but delicious recipes

This is my Irish grandmother's recipe for cabbage soup.


1 medium head cabbage, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I use fresh tomatoes from my garden and don't put them in until the soup has less than 1 hour left to simmer)
1 pound cubed beef brisket
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
6 1/2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon white sugar


In a large stock pot combine the cabbage, tomatoes with liquid, beef brisket, carrot, onion and celery. Cover with cold water and season with sugar to taste. Simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours or until all ingredients are tender. Add additional seasoning to taste.


I like this recipe a lot, but the cabbage soup I like best is from leftovers from a corned beef and cabbage dinner. I can give you directions if you want, but basically I use the water I originally cooked the corned beef in for my stock, cube the corned beef, cut up the leftover potatoes and carrots, and use fresh shredded cabbage. It's really good.

So, Jimmy is interested in the corned beef dinner soup. I'll put it in here in case anyone else is interested.

Corned Beef Dinner

3 pounds well-trimmed corned beef
1 large onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 head of cabbage, cut into 3-4 wedges
6 carrots, cut in pieces
4-5 potatoes, depending on size and your preference, quartered, I prefer red potatoes

Pour enough water over corned beef in Dutch oven. Add onion and garlic. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until beef is tender - about 50 minutes per pound.
Add potatoes and carrots near the end of cooking, boil for 30 minutes. Add cabbage and boil for another 10-15 minutes, depending on how done you like your cabbage. Reserve your water. I usually store all leftovers, including the water, in a large Tupperware container.


Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup (very easy at this point)

Simply cube some of the leftover corned beef, cut the potatoes and carrots into bitsize pieces, and put in a medium saucepan covered with the reserved water. I then take fresh cabbage and cut it into squares and add to the pan. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until the cabbage is cooked - maybe 10 minutes.

Hi, this is very yummy soup...and no calories. ... :DHee-Hee!
