Instructions

Start with the broth: In a large saucepan, fill it halfway with water or beef broth and bring it to a boil. The broth is key to giving this soup its rich, hearty flavor, so feel free to use a little extra if you prefer a more soupy texture.
Add the veggies: Once the broth is boiling, toss in your diced onions, chopped celery, and stewed tomatoes. Let the mixture return to a simmer. Adding the vegetables early allows them to soften and release their natural flavors into the broth.
Prepare the corned beef: If you’re using fresh corned beef, cook it separately until it’s tender, then chop or shred it. If you’re using canned corned beef (which is a time-saver), you can skip this step and add it directly to the soup later.
Spice it up: Stir in the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, along with any spices you prefer. Classic options include a bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow everything to simmer together for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is where the magic happens—your kitchen will be filled with the mouthwatering aroma of Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup!
Add the corned beef: Once the vegetables are tender and well-cooked, add the corned beef to the pot. Give the soup a good stir, and let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the beef to soak up the flavors.
Serve and enjoy: Your Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup is ready! Ladle it into bowls and serve hot. Perfect for a cozy night in or to impress your family during a casual gathering.

Notes

Broth: If you prefer a thicker, stew-like consistency, use less broth. On the other hand, if you want a more soup-like texture, feel free to add an extra cup or two of broth as it simmers.
Corned Beef: For a quick version, canned corned beef works just fine. However, if you want a more authentic, homemade taste, cooking fresh corned beef beforehand will add a richer flavor.
Spices: While the Lipton Onion Soup Mix provides a flavorful base, don’t be afraid to customize the spices to your liking. Adding a bit of cayenne pepper can give the soup a spicy kick!
Storage: This soup stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days. In fact, the flavors tend to develop even more after sitting overnight, making it a great meal prep option.
