Ingredients
Scale
- 750 g (26.5 oz) marrow, peeled, deseeded, and roughly chopped
- 250 g (8.8 oz) potatoes, roughly chopped
- 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) vegetable or chicken stock
- 400 g (14.1 oz) butter beans, drained
- 2 onions, roughly chopped
- 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) light coconut milk
- 1–2 tbsps curry powder, to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- small handful of coriander leaves
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Dice onions, potatoes, and marrow into uniform pieces, ensuring even cooking and consistent texture.
- Sauté Foundation: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, introducing diced onions and seasoning with salt. Cook until onions become translucent and slightly golden, developing a rich flavor base.
- Spice Integration: Fold in diced potatoes, marrow, and curry powder, stirring thoroughly to distribute spices and create a fragrant foundation for the soup.
- Liquid Harmony: Pour vegetable stock, butter beans, and most of the coconut milk into the skillet, creating a cohesive liquid environment that will transform into a creamy soup.
- Simmering Phase: Bring the mixture to a brief boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Allow ingredients to simmer gently for 20 minutes, letting vegetables soften and flavors meld together.
- Blending Technique: Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender. Pulse until achieving a velvety smooth consistency, eliminating any vegetable chunks.
- Final Touches: Return puréed soup to the pan, gently rewarm, and finish by drizzling remaining coconut milk and garnishing with fresh coriander leaves for a vibrant, aromatic presentation.
Notes
- Optimize Vegetable Softening: Salt draws moisture from onions, helping them caramelize faster and develop deeper, richer flavor without burning.
- Spice Distribution Technique: Toasting curry powder with vegetables releases essential oils, intensifying the aromatic profile and creating a more complex taste experience.
- Blending Safety Precaution: Allow soup to cool slightly before blending to prevent potential steam pressure buildup and reduce risk of accidental splashing.
- Texture Perfection Tip: Use a high-powered blender and pulse gradually to achieve a consistently smooth soup without lumps, ensuring a velvety final result.
