Print Recipe

A hearty and warming slow cooker soup featuring tender corned beef, russet potatoes, and cabbage, perfect for cold winter days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds corned beef brisket, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Half a small head green cabbage, chopped into chunks
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrots and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. If not pre-cut, slice the corned beef brisket into 1-inch chunks, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
  3. Place the potatoes, carrots, and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Add the corned beef chunks on top of the vegetables, then scatter the chopped cabbage over everything.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, bay leaves, and fresh thyme if using. Pour this mixture evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, test the potatoes and cabbage for softness but firmness. Cook longer if needed.
  8. Remove bay leaves and taste the soup. Add salt and more black pepper if desired. Stir gently to combine.
  9. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

Use quality corned beef brisket for best flavor. Avoid adding salt until the end due to the saltiness of corned beef. Layer denser vegetables at the bottom to prevent mushiness. Stir halfway through cooking if your slow cooker heats unevenly. For thicker broth, mash some potatoes against the side of the cooker and stir.
