Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add the mutton pieces and brown them on all sides for about 8-10 minutes. Remove the mutton and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, parsnip, celery, turnip, and tomatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the browned mutton back into the pot along with the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 90-120 minutes, or until the mutton is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
