JAMAICAN SOUP
Take the chill off with a taste of the Caribbean. Loaded with flavor, vegetables and goodness. This is one for the recipe file!

Ingredients:

1 – 3 lb. Wild Idea Buffalo Chuck Roast, remove netting, rinse and pat dry

2 – tablespoons olive oil

4 – tablespoons jerk seasoning

4 – cups buffalo bone broth or organic chicken broth

2 – cups water

4 – cups yams, chopped

3 – cups carrots, chopped

2 – cups celery, chopped

2 – cups onion, chopped

1 – can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 – head cilantro, chopped

Preparation:

1 – Preheat oven to 500°. While oven is heating roll the roast in two tablespoons of the oil and rub with 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning in a heavy pot.
2 – Place the pot in the preheated oven and roast uncovered for 15 minutes.
Add two cups of broth and one cup of water to the pot and continue to cook for 10 additional minutes.
3 – Reduce the oven temperature to 350°, cover the pot and continue to roast for 2½ hours.
4 – Toss the chopped vegetables (except the cilantro) with the remaining two tablespoons of jerk seasonings. Cover and set aside.
5 – Remove the pot from the oven and turn the roast over in the juices. Cover and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
6 – Remove the roast from the juices and place on a cutting board. Place the pot with the juices on the stovetop over medium high heat and add the prepped vegetables.
7 – Chop or pull the meat apart and add back to the pot.
8 – Once the soup reaches a full boil, reduce heat to simmer until vegetables are tender. About 20 minutes.
9 – Add the black beans and the cilantro and stir to incorporate.
