Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (diced) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 medium (sliced) carrots
- 3 sliced celery stalks
- 1 large (diced) sweet potato
- 1 diced zucchini
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
Cut the boneless lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, and sear until all sides are browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the lamb and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook while stirring occasionally for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the diced sweet potato and zucchini, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add tomato paste to the pot and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 more minutes to enhance the flavors.
Return the browned lamb to the pot, along with canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lamb and vegetables are tender.
Remove bay leaves and discard them.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
