🥘 How To Make Jamie Oliver Lamb Soup

1. Put oil in a large pot and heat it over high heat. Put in the onion and garlic and cook for one minute, until the onion turns clear.
2. Pour in lamb and cook, breaking it up as you go. Season with spices once it has mostly turned pink to light brown.
3. Cook for one minute, then incorporate tomato paste and continue to cook for another minute.
4. Toss in the chickpeas, broth, tomato, and carrots. Stir and bring to a simmer.
5. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep it bubbling vigorously but not crazy fast. Cook for 10 minutes until the carrot is tender but not overly soft.
6. Mix in the spinach. Toss in the wilted greens, then season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and water, if desired.
7. Spoon into bowls, top with a scoop of yoghurt, and garnish with a large pinch of coriander. Savor it!

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use fresh garlic: Freshly minced garlic imparts a more robust and aromatic flavor to the soup compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic.
• Adjust spices to taste: If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. For more heat, you can add extra or include a chopped chili.
• Uniformly chop vegetables: Chopping the carrots and any additional vegetables into uniform sizes ensures they cook evenly, preventing some pieces from being undercooked while others become mushy.
• Add spinach last: Stir in the chopped spinach just before serving to maintain its bright green color and nutritional value, as overcooking can cause it to lose both.
