Ah yes, my Guinness Irish Soul Soup, what could be better? This is all I want to eat at the moment – warming and nourishing, like a big hug for the soul. It’s the perfect midweek supper, or starter for your St Patrick's Day celebration, and it’s a fool-proof recipe that you can make without too much effort when you get home from work. There are lots of things you can add to it – noodles, potatoes, rice, pasta, kale, spinach. I have added #Guinness for added depth of flavour - roasted, sweet malty notes that add a delicious warmth to the soup.
