Bison Soup Recipes for Fall

Today, we have two new bison soup recipes from our favorite guest chef, Pam! Pam has shared two amazing recipes that are perfect for warming up on these chilly, fall days. Read below to find out how to make bison pot pie soup and bison barley soup. Bison meat is a great ingredient for so many dishes, and Pam will convince you that bison soup is a great option!

Both recipes make use of our Buck Wild Bison premium bison ground meat and bison marrow bones. 

Bison Pot Pie Soup

 Makes 10 Servings

Bison Broth

2 Bison Soup Bones

2 Quarts of Beef Broth

1 Onion

Soup

2 Lb Buck Wild Bison Ground Bison Meat (Seasoned with garlic and pepper)

2 Lb Sliced Carrots

2 Onions

2 Celery Stalks

1 Cup Flour

4-5 Potatoes

Frozen Peas

1/4 Cups Pearl Barley – Uncooked

2 Tbs Butter

3 Tbs Herbes de Provence

2 Tbs Beef Bouillon

1–2 Quarts of Beef Broth – depending on how hearty you like your soup 

Directions

This is a great make ahead and put in the freezer dish.

I cook in a 10 Qt Pressure Cooker that has a Slow Cook Setting

Note – Another option is to make the below but cover with mashed potatoes and bake. If you do that, reduce the broth or you will just have soupy potatoes.

Broth

Bake the Bones at 350 Degrees for ½ hour

Drain off the fat

Put the listed ingredients in Pressure Cooker for ½ hour on high

Remove Bones and allow broth to cool (The Dogs get the bones once they have cooled)

Note: I most often make this in advance – Broth freezes well if you want to double up and have some to spare.  Also, I usually do the broth in advance so it can cool and I can remove the fat.

Soup

Add the Raw Barley and Broth into pot

(Reserve the extra quarts until you see how hearty the soup is)

Cook the diced Carrots and Celery with the Tbs of Butter and Herb de Provence, until tender; sprinkle the flour over the cooked veggies to make a veggie Rue (cook long enough to make sure the flour is cooked – if it is too pasty add butter to loosen up the rue) – Add to the pot when rue is cooked

Sauté onions – add to pot

Dice Potatoes – add to the pot raw

Brown 2 lbs. of Buck Wild Bison Ground Bison Meat

Drain the meat after cooked

Cover and cook in Slow Cooker for 4 hours

Add Frozen Peas

Enjoy!
