Title: Soup
Post by: Smoke on January 03, 2016, 09:50:43 AM: Just filed my hunt reports on the wildlife site... now I need info for making tag soup... how long to I boil the tags to ensure they are tender enough, and what are some good spices to add to bring out the proper flavors?

After the tags have rendered down a bit, deglase the pan with the sweat from all of this years hunts. Let the sweat simmer and reduce, about 15 minutes.

Next, add some jerky, cheese sticks, and the power bars you ate while out in the field. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 hours. The tags will be very tender by then.

Enjoy.
