How to Make Lamb Stew from The Hunger Games

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Mich chapter.

If any of you are #obsessed with food like me the reason you love the Hunger Games so much probably has a lot to do with Suzanne Collins’ bomb food descriptions.

It always made me super hungry to read about Katniss’s favorite lamb stew in the books, so you can imagine my disappointment when it was not featured in the first movie. To quell my disappointment I decided to make my own version of Katniss’s Lamb Stew for the Mockingjay Part II premiere and last EVER Hunger Games movie. May the food creation odds be ever in your favor.

    Mash up lamb sausage in a frying pan. Make sure it is evenly spread out so it will cook evenly. This should take 6-8 minutes. When lamb is browned, pour into soup pan, reserving the extra fat.

    If you want thicker soup, make a rue using the flour and about a cup of heated broth. Stir broth and flour together in a bowl and add back to the soup when combined.
