Method
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add diced lamb, and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Sear the lamb until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- Toss in the diced carrot and sliced mushrooms; cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Pour in the broth, raising the heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Once finished, let the soup sit for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.

Notes
Don’t hesitate to swap out the lamb for beef or chicken if that’s what you prefer!
You can also play with the spices to adjust the heat to your liking—add more chili powder for a spicier kick or even toss in some beans for extra protein.
Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if it's too thick.
