Photo: Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 3 stalks celery, quartered
- 3 medium carrots, quartered
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 pound plum tomatoes, halved
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 4 cups chopped green cabbage (about 1/4 medium head)
- 1/2 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chopped
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking barley
- 1/4 pound corned beef, cut into thin strips (use leftovers or deli meat)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Pulse the onion, celery and carrots in a food processor until they are pea-size pieces. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, celery and carrots and the allspice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the tomatoes to the pot and add the beef broth, cabbage, potatoes, barley and 4 cups water; cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes and barley are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the corned beef and season with salt and pepper.

I didn't make this recipe exactly as written, but I still think it's worthy of 4 stars. I don't own a full-sized food processor, so I just diced my veggies and sauteed them that way. Couldn't find decent fresh tomatoes, so I used one can of petite diced, drained. I also doubled the corned beef because 1/4 lb. didn't seem like much. I had no problem with the cooking time; the potatoes and the cabbage were perfect after 20 minutes. This is definitely a hearty and filling soup, and I agree that it makes more than 4 servings. At least 6. I will definitely be making this again in the future.

This was pretty good. Not an explosion of flavor but a nice hearty soup. I added 1C more Beef Stock than the recipe called for and used Roma Tomatoes instead (all I had. Turned out just fine.
