LAMB SHANK SOUP

Lamb Shank Soup image

This is my mum's recipe, which I made just recently. My son's girlfriend wanted the recipe, so I figure this is the easiest way to give it to her! If you like hearty old-fashioned soup, this is a good stick-to-your-ribs one! Cook time includes making the stock, then next day, the soup, but not the sitting overnight!

Tips:

Choose the right lamb shanks: Look for lamb shanks that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the soup is flavorful and rich.
Brown the lamb shanks before simmering: Browning the lamb shanks in a hot pan before adding them to the soup will help to develop their flavor and create a more complex soup.
Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to add flavor and depth to your soup. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, and black pepper.
Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours: This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers: A warm bowl of lamb shank soup is the perfect meal to serve with crusty bread or crackers.
