Cabbage-Potato Soup

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 3 cups shredded cabbage (I use slaw in a bag)
• 3 cups chopped onion
• 2 Tbsp. of garlic
• 2 cups grated Idaho potatoes

• 2 quarts chicken stock (I used veg. stock)
• 8 to 10 ounces corned beef, cut into 2 by 3-inch strips (1 cup) (I bought it at the deli and cut it up)
• 2 cups grated carrots (I used turnips and added a little sugar)
• 1 cup cream (I used evaporated milk and 2 Tbsp. of butter)
• Salt and pepper

Directions

In a soup pot heat 1 Tbsp. oil, add onions and garlic and cook until tender. Add cabbage and potatoes and stir to coat. Add stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small skillet saute corned beef strips in remaining oil until crisp; drain on paper towels. Add carrots and cream to soup and simmer 10 minutes more. Stir in corned beef strips and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. I didn't need any salt, but a little pepper was needed. It was better the next day, as most soups are.
