Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 lb bison (or lamb stew meat), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 cups low-sodium beef broth
14 oz diced tomatoes
2 (small) turnips, peeled and diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery , leaves included, thinly sliced
1 pinch of saffron threads
12 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, plus more leaves for garnish
8 sprigs fresh cilantro, plus more leaves for garnish
1 large zucchini, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 oz angel hair pasta, (capellini), broken into small pieces ( you can also use 1/2 cup orzo)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and turmeric; stir to coat. Add meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add broth (or water), tomatoes and their juice, turnips, carrots, celery and saffron. Tie parsley and cilantro sprigs together with kitchen string and add to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the meat is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
Stir in zucchini and cook, covered, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add pasta and cook until soft, 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the type of pasta. Discard the parsley and cilantro sprigs. Season with salt (start with 1 teaspoon if you?re using beef broth; add more if you?re using water) and pepper. Serve sprinkled with parsley and/or cilantro leaves, if desired.
