Marrow and Dill Soup
For a richer soup, put one teaspoonful of smetana in the bottom of each bowl before the soup is poured in. This will increase the calories per portion slightly.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 lb marrow peeled, seeded and grated
- salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons plain flour
- 1 tablespoon mild French mustard
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 1/2 pints chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
- paprika to garnish
Instructions
- Put the marrow in a colander, sprinkle a little salt over and leave to stand for 20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan, put in the marrow and sprinkle with the flour. Stir well, then cook for 1 minute, stirring all the time.
- Add the mustard and half the dill, stir, then pour the stock in slowly, still stirring. Cover and simmer very gently for 15-20 minutes, do not allow to boil vigorously.
- For a smooth-textured soup, cool slightly, then blend in a liquidizer. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding lemon juice and sugar as necessary. Stir in the remaining dill. Pour into warmed soup bowls, sprinkle a little paprika over each portion and serve.
