I love making what we call the traditional Irish dinner of Corn Beef Cabbage and Potatoes for St. Patrick’s Day. We all feel like we have a little bit of Irish in us during the month of March, don’t we? Sometimes I like breaking from tradition but still have the delicious taste of the traditional meal. Here’s a version of this traditional Irish dinner in a soup.
