Irish Bacon and Cabbage Soup
A rich, hearty soup like this deserves a light, refreshing, off-dry Riesling like Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling ($10.99 at Cool Springs Wine & Spirits).
Ingredients
1/2 pound Irish bacon, diced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup chicken stock, or as needed
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups thinly sliced dark green Savoy cabbage leaves
Directions
1. Place bacon in a large, deep stockpot or saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain off any excess fat.
2. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and chicken stock to cover. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 20 minutes, or until potatoes
are tender.
3. Stir in cabbage and allow soup to simmer for a few minutes longer before serving.
