This green version of classic vichyssoise is enriched with yoghurt rather than cream. Traditionally served chilled, the soup can also be served hot, so it is ideal for days when the weather is changeable.

Recipe by: Ita

This is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality bacon. It tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green colour of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful colour.

Beef and Guinness Irish Stew

Recipe by: want2hike

This stew is traditionally for St. Patrick's Day but is also suited to more cooler weather. Either way, the mixture of the beef and Guinness is awesome! I usually add more beer than the recipe calls for and serve it with mashed potatoes.

A gorgeously creamy leek soup with a sharp cheese and mustard kick. It makes a delicious lunch served with cheese and onion bread or walnut bread. Plus, it's vegetarian too!

Dublin coddle

Recipe by: J. Boyle

A true Irish dish which has been enjoyed for many a year by all Dublin people, soon to be enjoyed by your family over and over again! This is the bare bones traditional recipe but feel free to add garlic, a bay leaf or other fresh herbs for flavour. It's also good if you replace the water with cider.

Easy mushroom pepper soup

I hit the jackpot when I threw together some ingredients from the pantry that were about to go off and tried my hand at making mushroom soup without a recipe! It's very simple but delicious!
