Ground Venison and Red Pepper Soup

venison

kosher salt

tbsp. smoked paprika

rosemary leaves (use 1 tsp. if ground)

yellow onion, diced

chicken stock*

red peppers,

kale

Israeli couscous, orzo pasta, brown rice, diced potatoes, or pre-cooked chickpeas

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add roughly a tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, or enough to coat it in a thin layer. Once the oil shimmers, add the ground venison and brown. Sprinkle in the salt, paprika, and rosemary, and stir to combine. Remove the venison and set aside.

Add another tablespoon of oil if needed and sauté the diced onion until brown and soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional minute, or until fragrant.

Deglaze the pan with chicken stock (see note below). Return the venison and add the strips of red peppers. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce the liquid and intensify flavors.

Add the pasta or beans and kale to the pot. Cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.

Taste and season with extra salt or black pepper if desired. Serve hot.

*Grains and pastas can absorb up to twice their weight in liquid; if using this type of starch you will need about 8 cups of chicken stock. If using beans or potatoes, you may only need about 6 cups of liquid.

*Many grocery stores carry roasted red bell peppers in a jar. Look in the pasta aisle near the canned tomatoes, artichokes, and capers.
