Turn leftover Saint Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage into a hearty, homey one-pot soup. Earthy caraway seeds, fresh dill, and pungent malt vinegar give this quick-cooking soup complex flavor. Serve with Irish soda bread for a homey and comforting supper. To make this soup without leftovers, use store-bought corned beef (choose a piece about 1 inch thick) and pre-boil the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion)

  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pound shredded cooked corned beef
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Malt vinegar
