What it is
A deeply nourishing and flavorful soup made from slowly simmered beef or lamb bones, specifically rich in bone marrow. The broth is typically clear, aromatic with bay leaves, cardamom, and a hint of turmeric, focusing on the luxurious fat and nutrients from the marrow itself. Often garnished with fresh herbs.
Key ingredients
Beef or lamb marrow bones, water, onion, bay leaves, cardamom pods, salt, pepper, turmeric (optional), fresh parsley for garnish.
Optional tweaks
None typically needed, as it's naturally low carb. Ensure no starchy vegetables (like potatoes) are added, which is uncommon for a pure marrow soup.
Watch out for
Sometimes served with bread; confirm no bread is included.
