Moose Soup with Garden Vegetables

Kate Schat
We're always throwing together a soup of sorts at least once a week, and Moose Soup with Garden Vegetables is one worth making again and again! If you aren't lucky enough to have moose meat, try substituting venison or beef

Ingredients
  

Moose Stock

  • 3-4 lbs  moose soup bones any meaty bone or roast with lots of bones will work
  • 3-4 carrots
  • 2 onions skin on!
  • 1-2 bulbs of garlic skin on

Moose Soup with Garden Vegetables

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 6 cups half inch cubed potatoes skin on!
  • 8 cups Moose Broth
  • 6 cup sliced cabbage
  • 2 cups green beans
  • 2 cups diced moose meat more if you have it!
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup soy sauce trust me!
  • ¼ teaspoon ground celery ceed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Moose Stock

  • You can just throw all this in the pot for broth, but I chose to roast them. To do so, toss all this in a few tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper, roast at 400F for an hour, then start the broth.
  • To make the broth, put the bones and vegetables in a large stockpot, we need 2 gallons minimum here!
  • Cover it all with water, for me that was a gallon of water.
  • Simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat falls off the bones.
  • Strain out all the "stuff", pick the meat off the bones, and you're ready to make soup!

Moose Soup with Garden Vegetables

  • Saute the onions in butter over medium heat until browned.
  • Add the potatoes and broth, bring to a simmer and let gently simmer until potatoes are JUST cooked and a fork can pierce them. We don't want them to dissolve into the soup! This will be 15-20 minutes, depending on how big your potatoes are.
  • Then you can do one of two things- add the remaining ingredients, gently simmer 5-10 minutes, then serve OR take off the heat, add remaining ingredients, and let sit an hour or so until you're ready to serve. The residual heat will cook the vegetables and keep you from overcooking it all and give you time to get other things done before lunch or dinner.
