Instructions
 

  • Cook the Meat and Vegetables:
  • Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground lamb or beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Make the Roux:
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
  • Add Liquids and Potatoes:
  • Slowly add the broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add Peas, Corn, and Cream:
  • Stir in the peas, corn, and heavy cream. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Adjust Seasoning:
  • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce.
  • Serve:
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty bread or biscuits.

Notes

  • Meat Options: For a more traditional take, use ground lamb. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for a lighter version.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like celery, green beans, or mushrooms.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Replace the all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding more broth if the soup thickens too much.
