Root Vegetable Soup with Irish Soda Bread
A delicious soup AND fresh bread in under an hour? "Impossible!" you say. However it is possible with a simple soda bread which takes minutes to prepare and bakes in half an hour. Team it with simple vegetable soup and you'll have a delicious hearty meal the family will love.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 200° celcius; grease a 1-pound loaf tin with some sunflower oil
- 2
Mix the flour, salt and bicarb in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the milk and vinegar, then combine into a wet sticky dough with your hands
- 3
Place the dough onto a floured surface and work it into a rough ball - it'll still look pretty porridge-y but put it into your greased tin and pop the tin into the oven for 30 minutes
- 4
Meanwhile, heat the rest of the sunflower oil in a saucepan
- 5
Peel and chop the onion and put it into the pot over a low heat to soften
- 6
Peel and chop the garlic and pop it into the pan with the onion. Slice the celery and add to the pot with the rest of the flavour-base
- 7
Whilst the flavour-base is softening, peel and chop your root vegetables. These can be swapped for your favourite root veggies or whatever you have in the house. Add to the softened onion/celery mix.
- 8
Pour enough hot water to cover all the vegetables and stir in your stock cube (or you could use liquid stock instead of a stock cube and water). Add the herbs and season to taste
- 9
Turn the heat up and bring the soup to a boil, then lower heat and simmer the soup until the root vegetables are soft
- 10
When your bread is done, remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. The bread should be a nice deep gold colour.
- 11
Once all the vegetables are soft, remove the soup from the heat and purée with a stick blender. Once blended ensure you taste the soup again and season to taste
- 12
Serve the soup with a couple of slices of your delicious bread!

Irish Brown Bread (Whole Wheat Soda Bread) Irish Brown Bread (Whole Wheat Soda Bread)
My favorite soda bread recipe so far! Hearty bread in just 30 minutes. Whole wheat and bran makes it heartier and a lot more flavorful than white soda breads. It's so good with butter! I like to add in caraway, and sometimes other mix-ins like sunflower seeds and oats. If for some reason you can't get buttermilk, use a half milk/half yogurt mix instead. This recipe makes one small, manageable loaf. Felice -

Grandma Linda's Irish Soda Bread Grandma Linda's Irish Soda Bread
My Irish side loves Irish Soda Bread. I always look forward to having this on St. Patrick's Day.Back in high school, I tried to make it, but it was a total failure. Over 15 years later, I tried to make it again, using a recipe that my mother in law got from a good friend of hers. It was really good and so simpleI have tried to make it myself every year since I got this recipe. Hopefully, you will like it as much as we did. This recipe makes 1 large loaf or 2 small loaves. For mine, I used two 9 inch cake pans. #mycookbookEnjoy! J.A.B. -
