Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup cabbage, chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Garnish and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter in a spacious pot over medium temperature until it becomes golden and fragrant.
- Incorporate chopped green onions and shredded cabbage, gently cooking and stirring for 5-7 minutes until vegetables become translucent and tender.
- Introduce diced potatoes and vegetable broth, elevating the heat to create a rolling boil.
- Reduce temperature, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for approximately 20 minutes, ensuring potatoes soften completely and flavors meld together.
- Transform the soup into a silky consistency using an immersion blender, alternatively processing in batches within a standard blender until uniformly smooth.
- Integrate heavy cream, creating a luxurious texture and richness, then calibrate seasoning with salt and pepper according to personal preference.
- Warm the soup thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are harmoniously heated and blended.
- Ladle into serving bowls, presenting a comforting and creamy Irish-inspired soup ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
- Pick waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for creamier, smoother soup texture without breaking down.
- Swap heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt for lighter, dairy-free alternatives that maintain richness.
- Customize heat level by adding roasted garlic or red pepper flakes for extra depth and warmth.
- Enhance nutrition by adding crispy bacon bits or chopped kale as garnish for additional protein and texture.
