Notes

Deer Roast: Use leftover crockpot or oven-roasted venison; shred while warm for easy pulling.
Broth Choice: Beef broth enhances richness; use venison stock if available.
Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free; ensure broth is certified gluten-free.
Make-Ahead: Prep veggies the night before; soup tastes better the next day.
Texture Tip: Add deer meat at the end to prevent toughness.
