This recipe makes a LOT of soup. I freeze whatever I don't eat in single and double serving sizes. I usually end up giving a few portions to loved ones as well. Great to defrost in some warm water in the sink, and heat up for an instant no-fuss meal on a weeknight or a cold winter day!

How to make it
- In a very large stockpot, sweat the onions, shallots, and celery in the oil, on low heat, until translucent.
- Cut up the meat into small dice (1/4” to 1/2” pieces). It helps if the meat is partially frozen.
- Brown the meat cubes in some oil, in a skillet for a few minutes in batches if necessary, then put the meat and the juices into the pot along with the second batch of ingredients.
- Lower heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, chop up the mushrooms.
- After the 30 minutes have passed, add the mushrooms to the pot.
- Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 more minutes.
- Serve with salad and pieces of toasted, buttered baguette for dipping.
- Delicious!
