This rich and meaty corned beef hash soup is filling enough for dinner. A recipe handed down from my parents and is still a family favourite. It’s ready in 30 mins too!

Free printable recipe is available on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/corned-beef-hash-soup/

Ingredients:
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 medium onion peeled and diced
340 g (12 oz) tin of corned beef roughly chopped
1 1/3 litres (5 ½ cups) beef stock (Hot water plus 3 stock cubes. Use gluten free cubes if required.)
4 medium carrots peeled and chopped into bite-size chunks
2 medium potatoes peeled and chopped into bite-size chunks
1 small head cauliflower chopped into small florets
1 tsp cider vinegar or use the vinegar from a jar of beetroot or pickled cabbage as I often do
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
3 tbsp cold water
Freshly chopped parsley – to serve

Instructions:
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions softens.

2. Add the chopped corned beef and stir into the onions (no need to cook it through).
Pour in the beef stock, stir and bring to the boil.

3. Add in the carrots and potatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir a few times to break up the corned beef.

4. Stir in the cauliflower, cider vinegar, salt and pepper, then simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring a couple of times during cooking.

5. Mix the cornflour with the cold water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir a little of the slurry at a time into the soup, until the soup thickens to your liking.

6. Taste the soup and season further if required, then divide between four bowls. Top with parsley before serving for a dash of colour.

  1. Love your narration style, videography and editing skills. Recipes are also easy and simple to follow.

  2. I know she said that she was using British canned corn beef and not the American kind. However, I'm an American and that looks exactly like the canned corn beef that I grew up on… It even came in the very same type of can, with the key. And, yes, it can still be bought here. I would love to know if there is truly a difference between the two kinds of canned corn beef or if, perhaps, she is unaware that we really do have the same kind of canned corn beef here in the States?

  3. Very happy with this soup. Looking forward to see what you rustle up with a tin of Spam or Pek…

  4. Always had corned beef stew growing up. But my mother didn't add cauliflower and beef stock. I still make now and again. Lovely with a load of white buttered bread.

  5. The best thing is fry onion, corned beef, tin of beans, Worcester sauce, s&p . Put in cass dish with mash on top. Then grated strong cheddar. Oven for 15/20 mins. Wow, wonderful!!!!!😋😋

  6. I live in Manchester and many years ago my great aunt would make huge pots of corned beef hash which she would distribute to the entire family in various containers, including old ice cream tubs! I remember eating it with buttered bread for dunking many evenings after school.

  7. I made this 2 days ago and it was amazing! This dish is now on my short list of go to meals. I could not believe the rich favor. Thank You!

  8. This looks delicious. I live in America and for my hash I only use canned. I tried using fresh cooked but it just didn’t taste right.

  9. Made this tonite and was amazing I’ve done a few recipes lately like the curried chicken and tarragon chicken really nice recipes got a list from the channel to try

  10. I'm gobsmacked how delicious this recipe turned out to be and so inexpensive! Loving your work, the images are awesome, Chris is doing a terrific job. Thanks to both of you.

  11. In Manchester this dish was called Mouse something to do with the old nursey rhyme about three blind mice and possibly to get one over on the Scousers' who had a very similar named dish

  12. What would work instead of the cauliflower? I have a daughter with IBS and she can't tolerate it. I thought maybe cabbage? Not pickled just regular?

  13. My grandma cooked this when i was little, apparently it was a popular dish during the war when they had limited funds. I’m from Malta by the way, great recipe, some great memories.

  14. If you added Turnips, you'd get MacConachie's stew. The dread of the WWI soldier. But only because they had to eat it Every Single Day.

  15. Hiya,
    Can you do a traditional British corned beef hash? I can’t seem to find one in your recipe videos, it’s lovely if done right.
    I have my own, but would love to see one of your versions.

  16. One of my favourite meals. If you ever visit Australia you can get real corned beef. I don't know why we don't have in in England.

  17. Just because its got a key doesn't mean you have to use it, use your tin opener sideways instead. Its a lot safer.
