== Directions ==
# Put the lamb, onion, leek, carrot, celery, oregano, cumin, parsley, and bay leaf into a large saucepan or casserole.
# Pour in enough water to cover, about 6 cups, bring to a boil, skim off any froth that rises to the surface, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is almost tender, about 1½ hours.
# Lift out the pieces of lamb onto a plate and set aside.
# Strain the stock, pressing down to extract all the juices.
# Discard the solids.
# Rinse out and dry casserole.
# Return the lamb pieces to the casserole and add the potatoes and winter squash.
# Pour in the strained stock, adding a little water if necessary to cover the lamb and vegetables.
# Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer 15 minutes.
# Add the zucchini, beans, and corn, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
# Whisk a cup of the hot stock gradually into the eggs, then pour the mixture into the saucepan, stirring to mix.
# Do not let the liquid boil, as the eggs will curdle.
# Cook over very low heat until the eggs have thickened the sauce.
# The winter squash will have disintegrated, also thickening the sauce slightly.
# Serve in soup plates, making sure that each serving has a little of everything.
