• 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes, trimming any excess fat.

2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb and set aside.

3. In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

4. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

5. Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes with their juice, and beef broth. Stir to combine.

6. Add bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

7. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 75-90 minutes, or until the lamb and vegetables are tender.

8. Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
