What You Do:

1. Heat a heavy bottomed soup pan with 2 tablespoons Hunter and Gather Avocado Oil.
2. Season beef with salt and pepper before adding into the hot pan.
3. Sear the beef (cook until a nice golden crust has formed) on each side, roughly 1-2 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan + set aside for later.
4. Add the final tablespoon of Hunter and Gather Avocado Oil, the thinly sliced onion, cubed carrots, and chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté for 8-10 minutes.
5. Add the stock, tomato paste, parsnips, turnips, dried thyme and bay leaf.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer (slow bubble), and add back in the beef and all of its juices.
7. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
8. Add the kale and cook for 30 additional minutes, uncovered.
9. In a separate bowl, mix an arrowroot blend by combining the arrowroot powder (or tapioca starch) with the water. Pour blend into the soup and cook until desired consistency is reached.
10. Adjust salt + pepper to taste. Just before serving, squeeze in the lemon juice to make all of the flavours pop. Serve and enjoy!
