DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Rinse corned beef well under cold running water, then place in a 5- to 6-quart kettle or Dutch oven. Cover with 8 cups of the water and bring to a boil; drain. Add bay leaf,
cinnamon stick, pickling spices, onions, and celery. Cover with 8 cups hot water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 4 hours or until meat is very tender.

|
2:
Remove corned beef; discard pickling spices and bay leaf. Cut corned beef into thick slices and return to soup. Quarter cabbage, cut in thin shreds, and return to soup. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 2 to
3 minutes, just until cabbage is limp
but still bright green. Serve immediately
in broad soup bowls; top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh or dried dill, if you wish.
