TIPS
- Even Chopping: Keep the vegetable pieces uniform to ensure even cooking and a pleasant texture.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh rosemary brings a more vibrant and piney note than dried, so chop finely to release oils.
- High-Quality Broth: Opt for slow-simmered lamb bone broth for maximum collagen and mineral content.
- Avoid Overcooking: Simmer only until vegetables are tender because overcooking can dull flavours and textures.
- Layer Flavour: Add a small garlic clove or bay leaf during simmering for a deeper aroma.
VARIATIONS
- Add Leafy Greens: Stir in spinach or kale during the last minute for added nutrients.
- Low-Sodium Option: Use broth without salt and season gradually to taste.
- For Extra Fibre: Toss in a tablespoon of cooked lentils or barley for a more filling bowl.
- Spiced Version: Add a pinch of ground cumin or cinnamon for a warming spice profile.
- Vegan Alternative: Use vegetable broth and swap lamb for mushrooms and chickpeas.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
- Freezer Storage: Cool completely and transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating Tips: Reheat on low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain the broth’s consistency. Avoid boiling after thawing.
