Serves 4
Ingredients
- Onion 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic clove 1, chopped
- Butter or Plant butter 20g
- Olive oil 20ml

Method
Step 1
In a large saucepan cook the onion and garlic in the oil and butter until softened, without browning.
Step 2
Add the marrow, potato and sage leaves. Stir and coat in the buttery oil, cover with a lid and sweat over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the sugar and stock, then bring to the boil.
Step 4
Simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Cool slightly, remove the sage leaves and discard, and then liquidise the soup in batches. Season to taste.
Step 5
At this point you can either freeze the soup, or reheat if necessary and serve warm with crusty bread. Make this marrow, potato and sage soup recipe, and garnish with chopped parsley or sage leaves.
TIP: Always season soup near the end, because the taste may change as the food cooks. You can always add seasoning, but you cannot take it away.
