Equipment

  • bowl
  • ladle
  • mixing bowl
  • pot

Directions

  1. Dump the marrow beans into a large mixing bowl, cover them with hot water by 2 inches and stir in a pinch of baking soda. Cover the bowl and let them soak for at least 18 and up to 24 hours. Once or twice as the beans soak, drain away the soaking water and replenish it with hot water. After they've soaked at least 18 and up to 24 hours, strain the beans and set them on the countertop for later. Discard the soaking water.In a heavy stock pot (like this one), melt the ghee. Stir in the leeks and garlic, sauteing them until softened and fragrant - about 4 minutes.
  2. Pour the stock into the pot, and stir in the soaked beans. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Stir in the celeriac, parsley root and potatoes and continue simmering the soup a further 30 to 45 minutes or until the beans and vegetables turn tender and yield when pierced by a fork. Ladle into soup bowls, and serve hot.
