Cahill’s Cheese would like to thank Bowls Healthy Eating for sharing their delicious recipe with us. Irish Stoup is just the thing we need to keep us warm during the cold winter months. Irish Stoup is a cross between a soup and an Irish stew. This wholesome recipe is something we will defiantly be trying this winter.
Bowls Healthy Eating is a café based in 8b Main Street, Raheny, Dublin 5. This café encourages healthy eating and their menu is quite different to your usual café. All of their dishes are made with real food and are refined sugar free. They try to keep their dishes as low in saturated fat as possible while still including good fats needed by our bodies. The majority of their ingredients are supplied by local producers but certain ingredients are just no possible to source locally.
