Notes
Cook's Tips:
Using bacon fat to saute the cabbage adds and extra layer of flavor and richness to the soup. However, if you don't have bacon fat, you can substitute butter or other animal fat.
If you don't have leftover corned beef, it's super easy to make using this Instant Pot Corned Beef recipe.
The cream in the recipe is optional, however, it adds the perfect amount of richness to the soup.
