Creamy Potato and Corned Beef Chowder will transform your corned beef leftovers into an delicious and hearty comfort food dinner!
Leftovers. For some people leftovers are a problem, for us it’s a fun challenge.
Enter this Creamy Potato and Corned Beef Chowder.
When we know that we have awesome leftover recipes to make, like soup or maybe even these Corned Beef Tater Tots, we simply buy a bigger piece of corned beef.
We buy it FOR the leftovers. It’s a whole thing you guys, I promise you.
So the base of this soup is like a baked potato soup, but this one has shredded cabbage in there too. We’ve got to get some veg in there too, right?
If you have leftover cooked cabbage from St. Patrick’s Day…throw it in. Don’t run out and buy more cabbage, but for this recipe I used a bag of coleslaw mix and dumped it right in.
You’re going to need about three heaping cups of corned beef for this Creamy Potato and Corned Beef Chowder so try and plan ahead. Sneak some into the fridge before you serve it to the family.
Or if you really want to make this soup but don’t want to cook a whole corned beef just get some thick diced from the deli counter, chop it up and get it in the pot.
We had these sprouts leftover from our Corned Beef Irish Nachos so I thought they’d look good for garnish. Turns out they tasted pretty darn good on the soup too so it worked out all around.
Grab a few beers and get this pot of soup on the dinner table. We can keep on celebrating all weekend long!
