Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 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 larger)
- 1/2 head green cabbage, roughly chopped
- 3 large carrots, peeled and diced into thin rounds
- 3 stalks celery, diced into small pieces
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced small
- 3–4 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
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 2–3 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt, optional and to taste
- Fresh parsley, optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker:
In a large slow cooker (at least 6 quarts), add all the ingredients. I recommend adding the ingredients in the listed order, evenly pouring the beef broth and beer over the top, then topping with a pat of butter. - Cook Soup:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 5 hours or on LOW for 8 hours, or until all ingredients are soft and cooked through. - Season and Garnish:
Remove the bay leaves. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Stovetop Option: For stovetop cooking, sauté the onions, garlic, and carrots in olive oil in a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
- Storage: Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
