Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the lamb medallions and sear on all sides until browned. Remove lamb from the pot and set aside.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface to clarify the broth.
Add the frik to the pot and reduce heat to a simmer.
Return the seared lamb medallions to the pot.
Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the frik is tender and the lamb is cooked through.
Stir in the dried mint and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Squeeze fresh lime juice into the soup just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
