  • 1 large leek, cleaned and sliced in 1/2 moons
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped small
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons beef paste (better than boullion paste, or two bouillon cubes)

  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 rutabaga, about 1 cup cubed
  • 1 medium potato, about 1 cup cubed

Garnish with sour cream and a spoonful or two of sauerkraut.


Instructions

Sauté leeks, garlic and celery in olive oil in a soup pot for 5 minutes until softened.

Add water, beef boullion, salt, pepper, and dijon mustard stirring to incorporate.  Put in rutabagas, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and farro simmer 30-40 minutes covered until vegetables are tender and farro is cooked.

Add shredded corned beef and apple cider vinegar.  Cook for another 5 minutes to heat meat thoroughly.

  1. Hi,

    Is there a way to make this without much salt? I would think that most of the salt comes from the meat but I simply cannot have that much. Is there a suitable substitute?

    Thank you

    1. Hi Jim- I think the nutrition calculator is accounting for all the salt from the salt brine from the meat. Since the brine is not used in the end, I think it is safe to say, it probably won’t have this much salt. Also, you can always leave out the additional salt.

    1. Hi Sara, I haven’t tried the slow cooker. I would imagine 5-7 hours? Just guessing, let us know if you give it a try.

  2. Started the natural corned beef last week along with the sauerkraut. Can’t wait to make this over the weekend.
