  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 5 cups reserved cooking stock
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
  • 3 small red potatoes, cubed

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and celery; cook ~6 min until tender.
  2. Add leeks and garlic; cook until translucent.
  3. Stir in salt, pepper, onion & garlic powder, then add corned beef.

Notes

  • Use reserved stock from cooking corned beef for more flavor.

  • Swap in chicken broth and diced tomatoes for a tomato‑based twist.
  • For gluten‑free version, check that spices and broth contain no gluten.
