Irish Farmhouse Vegetable Soup

Irish Farmhouse Vegetable Soup 

Farmhouse vegetable soup is by far my favourite soup, it’s so easy to make and really healthy too. For the true Irish experience, pair it with freshly made Irish Soda Bread or Irish Wheaten Bread. 

Most Irish soups tend to be lump-free, thick and creamy, but you can also have it lumpy depending on your preference.

Traditionally Irish farmhouse vegetable soup is made with potatoes, leeks, carrots and onion; but you can also add turnips, parsnips, spring onions or broccoli. It’s the perfect soup for when you’re not feeling well or as a winter warmer.

What you need

• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 chopped onion/ 3 spring onions
• 1 leek, sliced
• 3 stalks of celery
• 3 large carrots, chopped
• 2-3 large potatoes
• 1 1/2 litres vegetable stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

The soup tastes great accompanied with freshly baked Irish Soda Bread or Irish Wheaten Bread.
