20 min prep
45 min cook

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnishing soup
  • 1 cup White onion, diced
  • 3 Diced 3 color bell peppers
  • 5 Peeled garlic cloves, minced or thinly sliced
  • 1 lb Ground bison
  • 2 tsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp Za'Atar seasoning
  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp Dried oregano
  • 30 oz Low sodium garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup Lime(s), juiced

Instructions

  1. Set a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow to get hot. Add onions, peppers, and garlic then stir-fry until peppers are just soft, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add bison, coriander, za'atar, cumin, oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to cook until bison starts to brown slightly.
  3. Next, add garbanzo beans, veggie stock and lime juice. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook at least 30 minutes or until liquid has reduced slightly.
  4. To serve, ladle soup into bowls.
  5. Chef's Note: It is optional but almost necessary to me to garnish with fresh mint, olive oil and pine nuts. Season to taste as needed. Garnish as desired.
