Corned Beef 15 BEAN SOUP®

If you celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the traditional dish of Corned Beef & Cabbage, here is a great recipe using any leftovers you may have in the next week. This version is made using a slow cooker, but a standard soup pot or Dutch oven would work just as well. (If you didn't make corned beef at home, you can always buy some precooked from the grocery or deli!)
