Found this on another forum somewhere in the depths of the internet - needed to use up a marrow. It was absolutely delicious, even dh liked it. Had it with homemade crusty bread at lunchtime and thought I'd share.
Marrow and Roasted Garlic Soup
All measurements approx to suit taste.
1 large bulb of garlic, seperated into cloves, root end cut off but not skinned. Roasted in oven in a couple of tablespoons of oil for about 20 minutes.
1 large onion, chopped and sweated in a large saucepan in a tablespoon of oil (and optional butter)
2 Ib peeled and deseeded marrow, chopped roughly.
1 1/2 pints stock (I used veggie)
Add the marrow to the cooking onions and squeeze the roasted pulp out of the garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the liquid. Bring to the boil and cook for about 20-30 minutes, depending how big your lumps of marrow. Remove from heat, liquidize and/or pass thru a seive (optional). Serve with a sprinkle of parsley and a swirl of cream!
