This recipe came from TOH and has become a family favorite. My oldest son loves this even though he says he doesn't like corned beef. Give this one a try--it's great comfort food.

When we're lucky (or have been good-I'm not certain which), this soup is served in the staff cafeteria at my high school, where I am a media specialist. The cooks have been making it for years, and it remains a favorite. -Mary Lindell, Sanford, Michigan
