FAQs

What type of mutton cuts would be used to make mutton soup?

Cuts containing bones and a little bit of fat are recommended in making rich and flavourful mutton soup because that helps enhance the depth of flavour plus adds body to the broth. The common cuts usually included are mutton shank, neck, shoulder, or ribs. Simmered on an intimate boil, the bones lend collagen and make a thicker, heartier soup. These cuts also happen to tenderise when slow-cooked. Avoid cuts of meat, such as loin, for they will become too dry and tough during the long cooking time that mutton soup often requires.

How can I make mutton soup tastier?

The answer here is in slow cooking and proper seasoning. First, sear the mutton to caramelise its outer layer, deepening the flavour. Whole spices like cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves give that rich, deep flavour. Fresh ginger, garlic, and onions enhance the base further. At the end, add fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for freshness. Slow cooking mutton is a technique that mellows down flavours and makes the meat soft.

Can the mutton soup be cooked in a pressure cooker?

Yes, one of the best methods to cut the cooking time yet retain tender mutton along with a tasty soup is in a pressure cooker. The usual time to cook mutton soup is 1.5 hours to 2 hours, but using a pressure cooker will only take you 30-40 minutes. You can do all the same steps: searing the meat and saut ing the spices before pressure cooking. Then let the pressure release naturally to have the meat remain tender, and flavours well-developed.
