Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 750 grams (26.5 ounces) Marrow, peeled, deseeded, and roughly chopped
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) Potatoes, roughly chopped
- 500 milliliters (16.9 fluid ounces) Vegetable or chicken stock
- 400 grams (14.1 ounces) Butter beans, drained
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 2 Onions, roughly chopped
- 1–2 tablespoons Curry powder, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Liquid and Garnish:
- 400 milliliters (13.5 fluid ounces) Light coconut milk
- A small handful of Coriander leaves
Instructions
- Warm a generous splash of vegetable oil (30 milliliters / 2 tablespoons) in a spacious skillet over moderate temperature, creating a gentle sizzling environment.
- Introduce finely diced onions into the pan, seasoning with a delicate pinch of kosher salt, and allow them to soften and become translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Incorporate diced potatoes, freshly chopped marrow, and aromatic curry powder into the caramelized onion base, gently stirring to distribute the spices and coat the vegetables evenly.
- Pour in vegetable stock (240 milliliters / 1 cup), plump butter beans, and the majority of the creamy coconut milk, ensuring a harmonious blend of ingredients.
- Elevate the heat momentarily to encourage a robust boil, then immediately reduce to a gentle simmer, allowing the vegetables to tenderize and flavors to meld together.
- Maintain a low-medium heat and let the mixture gently bubble for approximately 20 minutes, periodically checking the vegetables’ tenderness with a fork.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, preventing potential burns during the blending process.
- Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender and pulse until achieving a silky, smooth consistency with no visible vegetable chunks.
- Return the puréed soup to the pan, rewarm gently, and finish by drizzling the reserved coconut milk and garnishing with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
