My family has some Welsh history and I love some Welsh food! Parsnips, leeks, potatoes carrots, and lamb are all delicious foods that make up a great portion of a Welsh diet. This Welsh Cawl combines these foods into a simple but tasty soup.

Ingredients
Lamb “steak”– A lamb shoulder chop, loin chop, or similar cut will work, it will be chopped up into small pieces
Veggies– Carrots– you can use baby carrots, or large chopped carrots, Leeks– chopped, Parsnips– chopped, Potato– chopped
Flour– I use all purpose flour as a way to coat your meat, you should be able to replace this with cornstarch or arrowroot powder for a gluten free option
Seasoning– Salt, Pepper, Parsley
Oil– for cooking the lamb. I use olive oil, but any kind with little flavor will work
Crispy bread– is a great option to serve as a side and make this dish a complete meal
