Colcannon, Ham Soup With Dumplings#SundayFunday

This Colcannon is become are favorite salad at home. We often make this salad. I had remaining colcannon, decided to make a soup, with ham and dumplings. It's filling soup on it's own, requires no accompaniment.
Serves 2
Ingredients

750 Ml Chicken Stock
4 French beans - cut in 2 or 3 pieces
1 Large Carrot - chopped into dice sized pieces
¼ Cup Shredded Purple Cabbage
3 Tablespoons Colcannon
1 Leek - finely chopped
200 Grams Ham - finely chopped
For The Dumplings
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Colcannon
½ Teaspoon Heaped Baking powder
¼ Teaspoon Pepper Powder
1/3 Cup + Butter Milk
Method 
Take a large, saucepan , pour in the stock, colcannon, bean sprouts and chopped vegetables and mix it well, then place the pan on medium low flame bring to a simmer. Place the lid on and let it simmer for 10 minutes stirring in between.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, pepper powder and colcannon. Then slowly pour in the buttermilk to bind the mixture into a biscuit dough ( do knead the dough too much).
Once the vegetables in the pot are cooked and tender, stir in the shredded ham. Wet your hands a little and shape the dough into small ping-pong sized balls. Drop them on top of the soup. Put the lid back on the pot and simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes with a spoon, gently turn the dough over and simmer for a further 10 minutes.
Serve them large soup bowls and enjoy with a spoon, it make a complete and filling meal.

  1. I love recipes that use up leftovers! And soup is always a good idea. (P.S. I clicked on the link to see your original colcannon post but got a "page not found" message.)
