Ingredients

• 500 grams mutton, bone-in pieces
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 cups water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the mutton pieces thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a large soup pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, and continue to sauté for another minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Step 4

Introduce the mutton pieces into the pot and brown them evenly on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the mutton pieces are browned, add the diced carrots, sliced celery, and diced potatoes to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Mix everything well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the 8 cups of water, making sure the ingredients are submerged.

Step 8

Bring the content of the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Step 9

Check the soup occasionally, stirring gently and skimming off any foam or excess fat that rises to the top.

Step 10

After about 1.5 hours, check the mutton for tenderness. It should be falling off the bone and the vegetables should be soft.

Step 11

Adjust seasonings with additional salt if needed and discard the bay leaves.

Step 12

Remove the pot from heat. Stir in freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and freshness.

Step 13

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
