Venison Pasta Soup

Venison Pasta Soup

1/2 lb venison tenderloin, cut into 1/2" pieces
flour for dredging
2 medium or small onions
enough fat/oil for frying above (I used bacon drippings!)
6-8 cups water
3 beef bullion cubes
1 t worchestershire sauce
1 t garlic powder
1 c estrella pasta
ground pepper to taste

Brown onions until they are golden and just starting to caramelize. Remove from pan. Dredge venison pieces in flour and brown (in batches if necessary). Add more fat if needed. Return onions to pan and pour in the water and bullion cubes. Add garlic powder and worchestershire sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add pasta and cook until done (about 5 minutes). Season to taste.

This was a "what do I have" recipe because I didn't want to go to the store and the pantry is getting pretty spare. I imagine it would be better with real garlic and probably some vegetables, but oh well.

wait...so you had all that stuff just lying around? did you really need to go to the store in the first place? i don't even know what venison is.

=D

I had all that stuff lying around, yep. I like to cook, so all of that (except the venison--deer meat) is standard supply in my pantry.

I have no vegetables and I'm running low on spicy V-8 for my evening Bloody Mary. It's definitely time for a trip to the grocery store. NOT, however, today.

I lurv, lurv, lurv venison. I've even had it raw, which didn't seem so smart at the time...

I love venison, too, but raw? I think that's a bit much, even for my adventurous palate.

It was trotted out as this wonderful thing, but I only nibbled at it. It was too much for my head to get around.
