Tender bite sized chunks of venison, diced onions, sweet potatoes, spinach and kale all combined in a beefy broth would satisfy most anyone. The kicker to the soup is after you ladle it into your bowl, finish it off with a little lemon zest and freshly grated Parmesan cheese before diving in.

I made this ‘Tuscan’ inspired soup with Elk meat and it was just as tasty as this Venison soup. I try to share most of my recipes in hopes that you know that you can substitute other ‘Game’ protein. I do hope you try this Venison soup recipe – I’m pretty sure you won’t be let down!
