This Colcannon Soup is a hearty, creamy twist on the traditional Irish colcannon dish. It combines tender potatoes, vibrant greens like kale or cabbage, and aromatic leeks for a comforting bowl of soup perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup kale or cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium leek (or 1 large onion), cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream (or a plant-based alternative for a vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for a vegan version)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped scallions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leek (or onion) and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add the diced potatoes and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften.
  • Stir in the kale or cabbage and continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the greens are tender.
  • Pour in the milk or cream and gently heat through, being careful not to bring the soup to a boil.
  • Season with salt and pepper. If desired, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture while still retaining some chunky vegetables.

 

  • Garnish with chopped scallions or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use your favorite plant-based milk.
  • Adjust the soup’s consistency by blending part of it if you prefer a smoother texture.

 

  • This recipe is inspired by traditional Irish colcannon, transforming it into a warming soup perfect for any season.
