Lamb shanks are usually saved for slow-cooking dishes but why not make them the star of this soup. There’ll be no need for a second course with this hearty soup!

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp

Lamb shank meat, off the bone, raw

720 g, (Buy 6 x 150g), lean

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Carrot(s)
