lamb soup with peas & carrots

2016-05-15

Peas & carrots are an excellent accompaniment for lamb in every form. This is a rich and flavorful soup, made with the stock from the Lamb’s Breast Pot Roast recipe. I could have added the vegetables directly to the stew pot, but lamb's breast is an extremely fatty cut. I prefer to separate the fat from the stock before I make soup with it.

Be warned:
The lamb flavor can be overwhelming. Go easy at first with the stock; taste and add more later if you like it.
