Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add ground bison, salt, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce. Use a wooden spoon to break down meat and incorporate the spices.
  2. Brown bison until cooked through, 8-10minutes, or until nicely browned and caramelized. Remove cooked bison from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Add diced onion, carrots and celery to the pan along with a pinch of salt and stir until vegetables have softened, another 7-9 minutes.
  4. Pour in beef broth and V8 then bring to a boil. Stir in cabbage, corn and peas and bring back to a boil. Stir in reserved cooked bison. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Serve with freshly minced parsley.
