Jamie Oliver Marrow Soup is a rich, wholesome soup made from marrow (a type of large summer squash), cooked with aromatic herbs, garlic, and onions. The result is a creamy, smooth, and deeply flavorful soup that’s both comforting and nutritious. It’s an excellent way to use up this seasonal vegetable in a simple yet delicious dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large marrow – peeled, deseeded, and chopped into cubes.
  • 1 large onion – finely chopped.
  • 2 garlic cloves – minced for extra flavor.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil – for sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 liter (35 fl oz) vegetable stock – to create the base of the soup.
  • 1 large potato – peeled and chopped to add creaminess.
  • 100ml (3.5 fl oz) single cream (optional) – for a richer, smoother finish.
  • 1 tsp dried thyme – to add a hint of herbiness.
  • Salt and pepper – to taste, for seasoning.
  • Fresh parsley (optional) – for garnish.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the onions and garlic

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 2: Add the marrow and potato

  • Add the chopped marrow and potato to the pot, stirring well to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

Step 3: Add the vegetable stock

  • Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the marrow and potatoes are fully submerged. Stir in the thyme and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Blend the soup

  • Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, carefully blend the soup in batches. Return the soup to the pot.

Step 5: Add cream and season

  • Stir in the single cream if you’re using it, for added richness. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.

Step 6: Serve

  • Ladle the Jamie Oliver Marrow Soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
