Ingredients

- Add enough water to cover all ingredients.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the onions before adding them to the pot. You can substitute the corned beef with shredded cooked chicken or a vegetarian protein like lentils for a different twist. If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few potato pieces into the broth before serving. Don't hesitate to add in some diced carrots or peas for a pop of color and nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty stew is perfect on its own, but you can serve it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth. A simple green salad with a vinaigrette would complement the meal nicely. For a more substantial dinner, pair it with a side of roasted vegetables or steamed broccoli, which balances the richness of the corned beef.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. You can also microwave individual portions in a bowl, covered with a microwave-safe lid, for about 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
