Split Pea and Ham Soup
“This is a good way to use leftover ham, quite inexpensive, and VERY tasty,” says recipe creator TEETOE. “I hope that you enjoy it. Some people like to add carrots or other types of vegetables. Don’t forget to serve with buttered bread toasted in the oven.”
Potato Soup
“This is a base soup. You can eat it as is, or customize it by adding bacon, celery, onions, carrots, or whatever you like,” says recipe creator Rosemary. “Nondairy creamer is my choice, but you can use light cream or canned milk. Do not use red potatoes to make this soup.”

Add a nice warm crusty roll, butter, and a pint of Guinness and you got yourself a hearty meal to celebrate the Irish!”
Lobster Stew
