Alea's Corned Beef And Cabbage Soup

---

My family loves corned beef and cabbage, so i take advantage of the sales on both items around st. Patrick's day. i buy extra corned beef when it goes on sale, so we can enjoy it over the next couple of months rather than just on st. Patrick's day. when i make corned beef and cabbage, i always end up with leftover corned beef. i often use the leftovers to make corned beef and cabbage casserole, but this time i decided to go a slightly lower calorie route and make corned beef and cabbage soup. i use 6 cups of liquid to make this soup, but to make it more flavorful, and reduce waste, i use all of the leftover dripping from cooking the corned beef to make up some of that 6 cups. i also add any leftover gravy to add even more flavor. i pour the leftover drippings and any leftover gravy into a large pyrex measuring cup, then i add enough beef broth to bring it to 6 cups of liquid. the leftover corned beef will still have quite a bit of the original spice blend on it and the drippings
