MUTTON BONE SOUP
Jump to RecipeMutton bone soup is a rich, slow-simmered broth made by cooking goat bones with spices and herbs until the flavours and nutrients are fully extracted. The bones often include marrow bones and joints. As it cooks, the marrow melts into the broth, giving it a silky texture with robust flavour. Fresh herbs such as curry leaves and coriander leaves are added as garnishing.
Mutton bone soup is served hot, sometimes with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper for extra warmth and zest. It is commonly served as a starter with any side, or along with rice, as a replacement to rasam.
Mutton bone soup is believed to support immunity and joint health due to its collagen and mineral content. Traditionally, mutton bone soup is given to new moms on the third day, post delivery for strengthening the pelvic bones.
ABOUT THE RECIPE:
This recipe can also be made using a pressure cooker. It takes just 30 to 40 minutes in a pressure cooker. I’ve used 300 gms of mixed bones for this recipe. Mixed bones or any specific kind of bones like ribs, neck bone or leg bones can also be used for this recipe.
Traditionally, it is made with freshly blended pepper and cumin powder. It can also be replaced with 1 teaspoon of pepper powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin powder.
