Recipe by Sarah Hedger

 

In large soup pot, heat olive oil on medium high heat.  Brown venison in small batches, refrain from stirring for about 30 seconds while meat sizzles and browns. 

Once all the venison is browned add back to the pot and add cumin, salt, white pepper, and chilli powder.  Stir and cook on high for 5 minutes.  Add onion, carrots, garlic, red capsicum and give a good stir.  Cook for another 5 minutes until veggies are softened.  Add crushed tomatoes as well as one can of water (just rinse out tomato can with water and add to pot), beans, sugar, half the coriander, and the chipotle pepper if using.  Bring to boil and reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer for an hour. 

Remove from heat, stir in remaining coriander, and adjust seasonings. 

Serve with crusty bread or some soft tortilla.

Enjoy!
