🧂 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground lamb

  or ground beef
• 1 onion

  chopped (about 1 cup)
• 2 cloves garlic

  minced
• 2 small potatoes

  peeled and diced (about 12 ounces)
• 7 cups chicken broth

  or beef broth if using beef
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  crushed (or minced fresh)
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

  or to taste
• cracked black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley

  divided, for serving
• 1 pound russet potatoes

  (about 3 small)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup whole milk

  or heavy cream
• 2 egg yolks
• salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Begin by boiling the russet potatoes for the potato swirls. In a large saucepan,
  add the chopped potatoes, cover with water, and simmer until tender. Drain and
  let them cool and dry for several minutes. While the potatoes are cooking,
  proceed with the soup.
• 2 Heat oil in a large pot and then brown the onion, ground meat and garlic until
  the beef or lamb is no longer pink. Drain any fat.
• 3 Add the chopped potatoes, 6 cups of broth, dried thyme, rosemary, and tomato
  paste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• 4 Whisk the flour and remaining 1 cup of broth until smooth. Stir it into the
  simmering soup along with the frozen corn, peas, and carrots. Simmer uncovered
  for 5 minutes more.
• 5 Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment.
• 6 Mash the potatoes until they are smooth. If you have a ricer, this helps make
  smooth potatoes, otherwise mash as smoothly as possible.
• 7 Add 3 tablespoons butter, milk or cream, egg yolks and salt and pepper to the
  potatoes and mix until smooth.
• 8 Pipe or spoon small swirls of potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Melt
  1 tablespoon of butter and gently brush the tops of each potato swirl. Bake for
  15 minutes or until light brown.
• 9 Ladle soup into bowls, place a potato swirl(s) on top of the soup, garnish with
  fresh parsley, and enjoy!
