Northern Ireland Soup
Let’s start with this basic recipe that is healthy, economical and unique to Northern Ireland.
Made from vegetables grown near the shores of Lough Neagh or Strangford it is unique to us. No other region uses fresh Soup/Herb celery when making broth, even better, when Rick Stein visited Windwhistle Farm, near comber – he said it was his favourite dish!
