- The first and most important thing is to choose mutton with bones which gives a very juicy flavour and makes the soup yummy and juicy to consume.

Benefits of a soup

- Not only mutton soup but there are many other soups that can be made and are healthy in maintaining the calcium levels of the body too.

- These soups help in keeping the body warm during winters.
How to serve?
Serve these soups in a bowl using a spoon which help in consuming easily.
Generally, the soup goes well with flatbreads such as roti, naan, phulka or pav which makes a great combination with these liquid soups.
How to choose the mutton?
The goat or lamb meat always has bones that has flesh attached to it and such meat gives out best results or just pick up mutton with bones or ask the store owner to give that section of the meat to make the soup.
I have a marag recipe on the blog which is another different kind of soup and there are various ways soups can be made and I hope to update many more during this season of cold.
Below are the recipe details on how to make this simple soup in a pressure cooker which can also be slow cooked for a long time.
I am using the pressure cooking method but making it in a cooking pot and leaving for hours to slowly cook the meat and allow the juices to release into the soup by slow cooking for a very long time too gives an amazing taste.
Step by step procedure
- Clean and wash the mutton bones well.
- Take a pressure cooker, into it add the mutton with bones and olive oil. Do not go for boneless meat as the soup tastes best with bone meat.
- Add salt as per taste.
- add turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste. Some countries do not use ginger garlic paste and in that case the paste can be replaced by adding o ginger pieces which gives a strong flavor to the soup and also helps in keeping warm.
- add pepper corns or add black pepper powder but black pepper corns give more warm flavor and right taste in the soup.
- sliced onions, green chilies, coriander leaves. If the green chillies are too spicy then reduce their quantity. Every different kind of green chili has different spice flavors. Choose the one available in respective countries and add according to the spice flavor.
- Mix well and roast for 10-12 minutes. Keep stirring in between.
- The color of the mutton should change.
- Add water and give a mix.
- Check for salt and add if required.
- Cover the lid with a pressure cooker. Pressure cook the mutton with bones until tender. If the instant pot is available then the same process can be followed there or a slow cooking method too can be followed. Just slow cook the whole soup mixture for at least 1 hour to get all the flavours infused in the soup.
- Switch off the flame after 5-6 whistles or after it is tenderized well.
- Reduce the steam and remove the lid.
- Cook on low flame for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle black pepper powder and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve hot.
- Enjoy the cold winters!!!

FAQ'S
Since the recipe here uses spices which are not appropriate to babies. In order to make it suitable add zero spicy ingredients and also make sure small pieces of bones are not present in the soup.
Make the soup extract just by adding little salt ans water and always consult the doctor before feeding them as well as make sure the baby is at a right age to have a soup of this kind.
Babies until 6 months are healthy with mother's milk but try to give them a healthy diet such as soups from 7 month or it is better to start from 9 months with very little quantity in small ounces. Seek medical advice before initiating any step.
Tips
- Never use the mutton bones which has lots of fat attached to them as the soup turns out badly due to the bad taste of fat.
- The soup made out of full of fat attached to the bones is unhealthy too.
- Make sure to use mutton with bones without fat and then add plain nalli or bone marrow bones which give a good flavour and make sure to discard meat with fat/ cholesterol-containing sections.
- I have chosen mutton that has a bone to it as well as some nalli but anything can be chosen as these bones release healthy juices out of it into the soup.
- Another option is to cook the soup uncovered and it gets slightly thick if cooked uncovered for a while.
- If the soup is too liquid, make it slightly thick by adding a slurry paste of wheat flour mixed in water, add the paste mix while stirring the soup to avoid lumps in soup.

Just one look at the recipe and the technique and I knew this would be a winner. So many other recipes out there call for throwing everything into a pressure cooker and boiling. The initial few steps in this recipe make a world of a difference. We made this a while back and it's (hands-down) the tastiest mutton soup I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Was panicked because I'd forgotten to bookmark it -- glad to have found it again. Definitely a keeper. Thank you Asiya! Hope to try many other, undoubtedly YUMMY, recipes of yours. 🙂

can it be cook in a regular stock pot because I read that pressure cook cannot be used on glass top stove.
Asiya
Yes you can cook but it can take a long time and slow cook the soup for the flavours to infuse well...
