Lamb Shank Soup Recipes

Steps:

• STOCK: Place all the ingredients for the stock in a large saucepan and cover with water.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce to a very low simmer and cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender enough to fall off the bones.
• Strain, reserving the liquid and meat and discarding the vegetables.
• Shred the meat and refrigerate.
• Cool overnight, refrigerate, then remove the fat from the top of the stock and discard the following day.
• SOUP: Place all the ingredients (except the shredded, reserved meat) for the soup in a large stockpot.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour, or until the soup mix is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Season well to taste, add the reserved meat and heat through well.
• Serve with crusty buttered bread!

Steps:

• Place all the prepared ingredients into a large saucepan and cover with water, simmer for 2 hours, then remove the shanks and strip the meat from the bone and return the meat to the soup and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Crusty bread or damper go well with this soup.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Season the lamb, then fry for a few mins until browned. Add the onion and barley, then gently fry for 1 min. Add the veg, cook for 2 more mins, then add the Worcestershire sauce, stock and thyme. Cover, then simmer for 20 mins.
• When everything is cooked, spoon about a quarter of the soup into a separate pan. Purée with a stick blender (or put into a normal blender and whizz), then stir it back into the rest of the soup. Add the green beans, simmer for 3 mins, then ladle the soup into bowls and serve with granary bread.
