Peruvian Lamb Soup

I had 3 lamb chops the other left. When I did not know what to do with them. I googled: lamb soup, and all these recipes came up from Latin America. They seemed so easy! So I gave it a try and I did not regret it....so good and no stock!!!!!!!!!! this is the video that I kinda followed. 

INGREDIENTS:

-1'3 litres of water 

-4 or 5 chops of lamb.

-3 celery sticks.

-2 big potatoes.

-1 small white onion.

-2 cloves of garlic.

-1 tsp of salt.

-some pepper.

-1 carrot.

-3-4 slices of 

-some oregano.

-a good bunch of cilantro and some lime to garnish.

-optional: brussels sprouts.

STEPS:

1. So easy. If the chops are already fried and cooked, then great, if not fry them in the pot a little so they brown from both sides. Now set apart.

2. Dice up the onion and garlic and sautee in the pot with the grease of the lamb. Stir a bit.

3. Now add the lamb chops back, let it all cook a little together in the pot for a few minutes.

4. Now add the celery and the carrot and cook all together.

5. Now add the water, the salt, the pepper, the oregano and the 2 big potatoes in cubes and bring it to a boil.

6. Once it boils, bring down the fire and simmer for 30 minutes. The potatoes will make the broth thicker, but at this point you can also add 2 handfuls of rice. Yum! 

7. Now try and add more salt if needed. Also pick up the chops and get the meat out and cut up in small pieces and back to the pot. All the flavour of the bones will be in the soup now. 

8. Now garnish with cilantro and lime. 

So good! Next time I will add brussels sprouts too cause I think it goes great with lamb.
