The last time I made colcannon (traditional Irish mashed potatoes with kale), the thought occurred to me while gathering the ingredients that they would also be perfect in a soup! So…here we are.♡ I’m pretty sure this isn’t a traditional soup in Ireland, so I make no claims for authenticity here.But the traditional ingredients in colcannon (potatoes, kale, garlic, bay leaves, cream) form a fantastic base for a potato soup.

And when simmered with extra leeks in veggie broth, blended until thick and creamy, and topped with a vibrant sprinkling of fresh scallions, this soup turned out to be full of fresh, rich flavors.I also decided to stir in a big handful of a good Irish cheddar into the soup to make it extra cheesy, which I highly recommend, but the soup is also plenty flavorful without the cheese if you’d like to leave it out.So whatever sounds best to you.

We opted to keep this soup vegetarian here in our house, but it would be extra delicious with some extra bacon added in.Or if you prefer cabbage over kale in your colcannon, chopped green or Savoy cabbage would be wonderful here as well.Let’s make some colcannon soup!
