Time 11m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon oil
4 lamb shanks
2 onions, diced
6 garlic cloves, crushed
6 cups chicken stock
3 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 (400 g) can whole canned tomatoes, undrained
1 (400 g) can brown lentils, undrained
500 g butternut pumpkin, cubed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
4 crusty rolls, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large (preferably non-stick) saucepan (one which you can cover, in a later step), add the lamb and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the lamb has browned; remove and set aside.
  • Add a little more oil if it is needed (but if you are using a non-stick pan this shouldn't be necessary), then add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until they are tender.
  • Return the lamb to the saucepan with the stock, potatoes and tomatoes and simmer covered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the undrained brown lentils, pumpkin and thyme; season to taste; and simmer uncovered for a further 30-40 minutes or until the lamb is tender.
  • Serve - garnished with parsley - in large bowls and crusty rolls.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have used less salt next time. The lamb shanks were also a bit tough. I think I would have braised them for longer next time.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more spices and herbs added. The lamb shanks were also a bit tough. I think I would have braised them for longer next time.
