“A soup lovers dream! I used meaty lamb shanks and added 6 beef bouillion cubes to the water. I substituted rutabega for the turnip, added a chopped parsnip, 2 pressed garlic cloves, bay leaf and a bit of white wine once the veggies where tender.This is a hearty main dish soup that can only be improved by some buttered crusty bread for dunking!”
“great great recipe!I made a few changes – stewed the lamb shanks for a couple hours and used half beef broth instead of just water.this is one of those recipes where you almost want to make it a day ahead and refrigerate – the next day the flavors were even better together!”
“This is a great soup and was received with fantastic reviews by my family.I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone and will be making it again.”
“Simple and delicious! I just substituted the turnips for a large leek and also added 1/2 cup of dried split peas. Slainte!”
“I use the left over lamb roast to create the stock, and add a few beef bullion cubes too.I chill the stock overnight and discard the hardened fat from the surface and then I add the veggies, barley etc.It’s a great soup – economical, low calorie, high fiber, and good tasting!”
“Outstanding soup.This will be a staple in my household, too.I took the suggestion of adding beef bouillion – three Knorr beef cubes.I also used a rutabaga instead of white turnip. It was fabulous!”
“A 10 star soup,thanks”
“I chose this recipe to make for the Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game. It seemed just the thing for the beginning of Fall. I am embarrassed to say that the recipe somehow got away from me. I strayed so far that I don’t feel comfortable writing a review. I did retain the main ingredients. I did not start with the meat and barley because I didn’t want the barley in the way when removing the meat from the bones (they were cut). I added the barley later. I also used a lot more and different vegetables, more water, and the garlic (more) and bay leaf suggested by Lorac. I do have a very large pot of delicious soup. So anyway, I’m not rating this recipe, but would like to say thank you for the concept. I promise to strictly follow the next recipe of yours that I choose. “
