Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Vegetable soup using a deer roast

Anyone tried this before? I’m stuck inside today and looking through the cabinets and freezers to see what I have available to throw together for a pot of soup. In the meat department, I have a bunch of frozen mule deer roast I’m contemplating trying. Just always generally use beef and I don’t have that currently.

That will work

Sounds like a venison soup day.

I’d pattern a beef barley soup recipe.

Here is my favorite.

I make it real similar to this and some hot cornbread for dunking.

Well, my soup turned out excellent!

Looks good

Nice, except for those accursed peas! When I grew up, one of the benefits was no more peas.

Now I feed frozen ones to the goldfish, who love ‘em.

Have a couple of chuck roasts in the freezer. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yep, great looking bowl of soup.

Looks great, I usually make a venison roast with potatoes, onions and carrots with a PKG of beef stew seasonings. Take a couple of sandwich slabs off the.leftovers and chunk the rest. I add some water and noodles with a cup of mixed frozen vegetables
Guy could sub in barley or rice. Cook for awhile back down to simmer. haha kinda like it better than the roast meal.

Looks good, not sure about the taste

That looks like a proper soup to me, not overboard on the tomato juice like the school lunch ladies fixed. I'm bad if I'm in a rush to use canned deer meat, first round is ready by the time the potatoes soften. Best is if I can save some for the next day or two.

i've done it quite a bit. used to use deer heart cut into small pieces too and use wild papinki mushrooms, which are prolific around my camp in the fall. i called it hunters soup. i would make it and freeze it and take it to camp and keep on the woodstove.

Right on Mate !

My wife has been doing it this year. She has been making soup to eat when I am at work. She prefers it to beef. It gets tender but doesn't fall apart like beef. She came home one day when I was butchering a deer and asked me to cube up some of it for her to try. She had me cut up a whole ham for soup meat next time I worked some meat up. I killed more than normal this year and it is a good way to eat more of it.
