Healing Slow-Cooked Lamb & Thyme Soup

Preparation

1. To make the stock, season the lamb shank with salt and pepper, sear on both sides in a little coconut oil, then place in your slow cooker with the other ingredients. Cook on low overnight for 9-10 hours.

2. Remove the lamb shank. The meat should be falling off the bone. Chop the meat into small pieces. Set aside.

3. Let stock cool before placing in refrigerator. Once cooled, fat should settle on top. Skim off any fat and sieve the stock. Keep the liquid and place back in your slow cooker.

4. Prepare potato, sweet potato, carrots and tomatoes and cut into tiny pieces.

5. Place vegetables in your slow cooker with finely chopped onion and garlic, salt, pepper, turmeric, red wine, thyme, oregano and cumin.

6. Cook the soup on low for 6-8 hours. Add the lamb shank to the soup an hour before the soup is ready.
