  3. Using a large soup pot, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Take the marinated lamb and marinade too, and pour into the hot oil. Let this get very hot and sizzle, turn the meat over and sizzle darken on both sides. Remove from the heat if you think it will burn. When you have a deep brown crisp bottom, quickly add 3 cups of hot water and stir rapidly getting all the drippings off the bottom of the pan. This is your rich color of your soup stock. Let this boil while you chop your vegetables. Add more water if needed.

  10. Stirring well, taste test for seasonings. Add as you need to for sugar, salt, pepper and other seasonings. Let this come to a rapid boil, then reduce to a medium boil.
  11. While this is simmering, Slice your extra celery, green pepper, red pepper and lastly shred 1 large white unpeeled potato. These will not go into the soup until the last half hour. These will be crunchy and delicious.

  13. Before adding vegetables, remove the meat and make sure you get any loosen bones. Using a cutting board, separate the meat and bones. Cut up the meat and put back in the soup. Discard the bones.

  17. Serve this soup alone or you can top this with a mild shredded cheese. I used a Monteray Jack cheese. Great served with a great loaf of bread. Enjoy! :)

I came across this recipe just last week and haven't tried it yet but the combination of ingredients certainly sound yummy! It's a stovetop recipe but there will be a link after the recipe that shows how to convert the cooking time:

Serves 4

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs lamb shoulder, finely diced

1/2 cup water
10 green onions, chopped thin
3 tablespoons finely chopped celery leaves
1/2 lb fresh spinach, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2/3 cup cooked garbanzo beans or 2/3 cup cooked red kidney beans, drained

Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 55 mins

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy pan, and sauté the lamb until well browned on all sides.

Add the onion, cooking until soft, add salt and pepper to taste, turmeric, lemon juice, and water, bringing to a boil.

Lower heat and cover, simmering for 15 minutes.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, celery leaves, spinach, and parsley for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add these vegetables and the chickpeas to the meat and mix together thoroughly.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer another 20 minutes, or until meat is tender, adding water as necessary to keep up with consistency.

Serve with steamed basmati rice.
