Bone Marrow Soup with Bok Choy
Bone Marrow Soup with Bok Choy, simple to make and delicious to enjoy.
Are you feeling a little down and low on energy? A good soup is always good any day. Bone Marrow Soup can be prepared in many different ways. This recipe is a bit different today. I am sharing with you today a simple way to make Bone Marrow Soup with Bok Choy.
What is Bok Choy
Bok Choy is described on the World Wide Web as a Chinese cabbage of two distinct Chinese leaf vegetables often used in Chinese Cuisine. Bok Choy can be cooked in several ways. It is excellent in soups and can be substituted with common green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale.
What is Bone marrow
Bone Marrow is the spongy soft tissue found in the interior of bones. Bone marrow from grass-fed animals tastes better and has better nutritional values. The Bone marrow is considered a delicacy served with toasted bread, cracker, and steamed vegetables for those who want full health effects and benefits.
How to cook bone marrow
Bone marrow is very easy to cook; just 20 minutes in the oven at 450 Degrees F, and you’re done. Although this particular way is quite enjoyable by many, I find it too fatty and too delicious to eat. The best way for me to enjoy it is in soup. Many people may not bake the bone marrow before adding it to soup, but I do. The roasted taste of the marrow adds flavor to the broth.
How to make bone marrow soup
Bone Marrow Soup with Bok Choy is made with roasted bone marrow, Bok Choy, tomatoes, onion, and spices. The bones are cleaned with cold water and vinegar before roasting. (Just a cultural habit/thing) The broth for the soup is made by cooking all the ingredients together and adding the bones last as the final flavoring step.
If you are a meat-eater, you might enjoy this recipe. This has no meat, just a taste of meat. And if you are a vegetarian, you are more than welcome to make the soup without the bone marrow.
Enjoy!
