Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds cooked corned beef cubed or shredded*
- 1 pound baby Yukon gold or baby red potatoes halved (or quartered if they're larger)
- ½ head green cabbage roughly chopped
- 3 large carrots peeled and diced into thin rounds
- 3 stalks celery diced into small pieces
- ½ yellow onion diced small
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic finely diced
- 6 cups reduced sodium beef broth
- 12 ounces dark beer optional but recommended**
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
- 2 or 3 Bay Leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- salt optional and to taste
- fresh parsley optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large slow cooker (I recommend at least 6 quarts, I use an 8-quart), add all the ingredients. Tip - I add them in the ordered listed, I evenly pour the beef broth and beer over the top, and then top it all with a pat of butter.
- Cover the slow cooker, and cook on HIGH for 5 hours OR o LOW for 8 hours, or as needed until everything is soft and cooked through. (See Notes for Stovetop cooking recommendations)
- Remove the bay leaves, taste and check for seasoning balance, and add salt if necessary, to taste.
- Optional garnish with fresh parsley to taste and serve immediately. Soup will keep airtight for up to 5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Tip - I recommend freezing the soup in smaller-sized containers so it thaws quicker. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Notes
- *You can use raw/uncooked corned beef. Cube it and add it raw to your slow cooker. Note that you may need to increase the cooking time.
- **Dark German beers or a dark Irish beer like Guinness are my recommendations. The majority of the alcohol burns off in the cooking process. I tend to think it all does but you can research that for yourself if you’re concerned.
- However, if you really don’t want to add a bottle of beer, omit it, noting the flavor will be a little less full-bodied. You will need to make up for the 12 ounces of beer by adding 12 ounces of additional beef broth.
- ***To make this recipe on the stovetop, add all the ingredients to a large Dutch oven or soup pot and cook covered over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until everything is tender and cooked through.
- Tip: If you're going to make it on the stove and want extra flavor, I suggest:
- Adding the olive oil and butter and sautéing the onion, carrots, and celery together first for about 7 minutes
- Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute
- Sear the corned beef
- Then add everything else and simmer until done
