Lamb and potato soup with mint

Description

A deep sand-colored ceramic bowl, its rim edged in cobalt blue, brims with a clear golden broth dotted with tiny beads of fat that catch the light. Inside, bone-in pieces of lamb, tender and pulling apart from the long, slow simmer, nestle among whole yellow potatoes, thick chunks of bright orange carrot and a little onion. A shower of freshly chopped herbs flecks the surface with green. Around the bowl, on a rustic, deeply grained wooden table, sit a small dish of spicy red sauce, another of chopped herbs, a metal spoon and a striped Andean textile in fuchsia, orange and blue that adds a splash of color in the background. Warm side light gives the scene a homey, comforting feel, like a soup for a cold highland morning.
