Description
A comforting Irish soup made with potatoes, cabbage, and kale, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup green cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 cup kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 medium leek, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
- 4 tablespoons butter (or vegan substitute)
- To taste salt and pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large pot.
- Add the diced onion and sliced leek, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir, cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped cabbage and kale. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer some texture, you can leave a few chunks of potatoes.

- Heat the soup gently until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and vegan butter. Enhance the flavor with homemade vegetable broth.
