    This Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup is super easy and comforting and it can be tossed right into your slow cooker!

    I don’t know what it is about cabbage. I love it. It’s so simple and it has a mellow flavor. What makes it so irresistible? Every time I watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie’s mom says, “Cabbage Soup for dinner…again..” I think, “Jealous!”

    A few weeks ago, on Saint Patrick’s Day to be exact, Dan and I made a delicious Reuben Grilled Cheese Sandwich to share because we’re festive like that. That sandwich reminded me of my love for cabbage.

    Then there’s this Sauteed Cabbage that I’ve recently fallen in love with. So guess what kind of streak I’m on now. Charlie’s family would not want to feast with us.

    How To Make Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup

    In a large skillet, cook cabbage, onion, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper for 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft.

    Add to a large slow cooker along with corned beef brisket (sprinkle the seasoning that comes with it RIGHT on top of that slab of meat), baby red potatoes, carrots, celery, chicken broth and water.

    Cook on Low heat for 7-8 hours. Remove the brisket from the crockpot and cut it into bite-size pieces.

    Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until meat is warmed through. Serve to cabbage-loving bellies!

    Recipe Notes

    • This is a FATTY piece of meat, so take the time to remove and discard the fat before returning the meat to the crockpot. Your choppers will thank you for heeding this advice.

        Hey Leslie! Sure you can use beef stock. It will alter the flavor slightly but should turn out just fine!

        Hi, If that’s all you have Kathryn, you can use it. Just cut your beef to the size you have. I use a 6 qt!

      I haven’t tried this recipe yet. Thinking of trying it for St. Patty’s day coming up soon. Won’t the cabbage get soggy if you cook it ahead of time? When I’ve done a corn beef dinner in the crock pot I’ve had soggy cabbage. I have since added the cabbage later to get a crisper cabbage.

        You can definitely add it in later for a more crisp cabbage. Add it in the last hour or two! Since this is a soup, I wasn’t shooting for crisp cabbage. It’s still excellent both versions. Enjoy!
