Hearty Venison and Red Wine Stew Soup

This stew soup features succulent pieces of venison simmered with carrots, potatoes, and onions in a savory red wine broth. The recipe takes about 2 hours from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

2 pounds venison, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium carrots, sliced
3 medium potatoes, diced
2 cups red wine
4 cups beef or venison broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Brown the Venison: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the venison cubes and brown on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned venison to the pot. Add the broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the venison is tender.
Serve: Ladle the stew soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy hot with crusty bread.
