For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon instead of Irish bacon. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup before adding the cabbage. Adjust the amount of chicken stock to achieve your desired consistency. For a thicker soup, use less stock; for a thinner soup, use more. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions, to customize the soup to your liking. Add these vegetables along with the potatoes and tomatoes.

Feb 11, 2023So easy to make and the whole family loved it. I used pancetta since I couldn't find Irish bacon and it was still delicious!
