This hearty Irish soup combines savory bacon, tender potatoes, and fresh cabbage, creating a delightful meal that's perfect for any occasion. It's simple to prepare and full of flavor, making it an ideal choice for a cozy dinner.
Begin by microwaving each potato individually for about 7 to 8 minutes until they are lightly cooked. Allow them to cool until safe to handle, peel the skins off, and cut them into medium-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, cook the bacon gradually until it's crispy, extracting the fat. Remove the bacon and reserve it for later, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pot.
