Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine water, beef base, onions, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, stirring until the beef base is dissolved.
- Add potatoes. Lower heat and simmer until tender.
- Add green beans and cook until half-cooked.
- Add corned beef and cabbage. With the back of the spoon, break corned beef into desired pieces.
- Continue to cook until beef is heated through and vegetables are tender yet crisp.

Notes
- Use a chunky variety of canned corned beef. My favorite brands are Martin Purefoods, Palm, Ox & Palm, and Argentina.
- Gently break the corned beef into large pieces and limit stirring the soup to keep the meat in chunks.
