Method

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the diced lamb shoulder to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and broth, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and add the diced beets, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 20 minutes until the beets are fork-tender.
Add the broccoli florets and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is vibrant and barely tender.
Stir in the fresh basil and lime juice, allowing the flavors to meld for 5 minutes.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend to your desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
