Notes
Can I add the seasoning packet that came with my corned beef?
Yes, you can. If you don’t mind larger seasonings in your soup, go ahead and add it. I decided I liked the soup without the packet and did not add.
Can I use cooked leftover corned beef instead of raw?
If you have lots of leftover corned beef you can add it to this recipe instead of fresh. Shred or cube your corned beef and add it during the last hour of cooking.
Do I have to add the butter and cream?
Both butter and cream go great with this dish to flavor the broth and vegetables. You can leave them out to reduce calories; the soup will still be great, just less creamy.
Serving Suggestions:
Ladle into bowls or hollowed-out sourdough bread bowls.
Top with freshly ground pepper, Parmesan cheese, or saltine crackers.
Serve with buttered rye or pumpernickel bread and a green salad.
