Marrow Soup
This marrow soup recipe is hands down the best way to enjoy marrow. It's delicious, flavoursome and healthy. And it has a naturally creamy texture, even though there's no cream in it.
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 10 g butter or use an extra ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic peeled and very finely chopped or minced
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg or use ginger or curry powder
- 500 g marrow cut into 1.5 cm cubes
- 500 ml vegetable or chicken stock fresh or use 1 stock cube plus 500 ml water
Instructions
- Heat a large pan on a medium heat, and fry the onion in the olive oil and butter for 5 minutes. The onions will take on a lovely golden colour.
- Add the garlic and spice and fry for another 2 minutes.
- Add the marrow and stock. If you are using a stock cube, just crumble it into the pan and add 500ml boiling water. Cover the pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. After this time the marrow will be soft.
- Blitz the mixture in the pan with a hand blender until completely smooth. You could also use a blender or food processor if you prefer.
