Irish country pubs serve some of the coziest soups you’ll ever eat. Our rich, hearty and delicious bowls of Irish soup will transport you to the Emerald Isle.

Stopping for lunch at an Irish country pub, you won’t find corned beef heading the menu. (Corned beef is an Irish-American specialty, as pork was more expensive than beef when the Irish first immigrated.) Instead, the perfect Irish pub lunch is a delicious, hearty soup. It’s usually served up with a thick slab of bread that’s generously slathered with fresh, sweet cream butter.

Those looking to cook something similar in your own kitchen are in luck. Our Irish soups and stews are rich with hearty meat, root vegetables, grains and fish—just the thing to ward off the chill. From brothy soups to loaded stews, there’s a little something for everyone looking to bring classic Irish recipes into their home.
