Gluten Free Corned Beef and Cabbage Bean Soup Recipe
Even though I was deprived of corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day, I was not about to be deprived of my second favorite St. Paddy’s day recipe – Corned Beef & Cabbage Bean Soup.
This gluten free recipe came about as a way of using up leftovers in a manner that was similar but not the same as the previous day’s meal. It was such a hit I started planning for the next day’s meal ahead of time; I would put some dried beans on to soak while the corned beef and cabbage was simmering away.
Gluten Free Portuguese Bean Soup Recipe
I love cozy, one pot soups for dinner in the winter. Yes, even here in Florida we have winter – such as it is. We may not have sub-zero temperatures and blizzards but we do have cool days with dark skies. And it is on such days that if feels so comforting to have a big, hearty pot of soup simmering away.
This recipe is my version of Portuguese Bean Soup. I feel perfectly justified in coming up with my own take on this soup as apparently ever self-respecting Portuguese housewife and cook has their own version.
