Ingredients

• 1 lb venison stew meat
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the venison stew meat with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear the pieces in the pot until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the venison to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir in the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Let cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and continue cooking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley just before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
