I recently stumbled upon a great Facebook group called Foodies of SA and I have been trying their recipes that they post on their site. I have fallen in love with their recipes and this particular recipe looked so good I just had to try it. Here is the original recipe from their site. This bone marrow, barley and split pea soup was very yummy!
I couldn’t find split peas but I did manage to find a soup mix that had both barley and split peas so I went with it and it came out perfectly. This is true comfort food that is perfect for those cold winter days where all you want to do is snuggle up under a blanket and watch some old classics!
I had to cook my soup for about an hour longer than the original recipe to get the barley nice and soft but it was well worth it. The bones I managed to get my hands on weren’t very meaty so I added a nice chunk of beef shin into the soup as well.
I served my soup in a bowl because I couldn’t find sturdy enough bread to make bread bowls. Perhaps make some of these rolls to soak up all that scrumptious soup.
