As you can tell from my name we are Irish soSlainte, (say "slawn cha)TerryGluten and Dairy Free Colcannon SoupSource : Teri Gruss, MS, Your About.com Guide to gluten-free cookingColcannon is an Irish soup, traditionally made with mashed potatoes and green cabbage or kale. This gluten and dairy-free version of Colcannon is adapted from a recipe that appears in The Best International Recipes by the Editors of Cook's Illustrated.I used a variety of fingerling potatoes in my recipe, including the colorful and healthy "purple" fingerling.
