This is another tribute to St. Patty’s Day. This soup was so good that even my husband loved it and he does not eat soup! For this soup, you can use either a nice dark lager or a pale ale, its up to you. I used Killian’s Irish Red Lager, and you only need one cup for the recipe, so guess what….the rest of it is for you to enjoy while cooking!
Wonderful to combine with some beer for St. Patty’s Day!
