That looks wonderful
Soup season is full on here as well . Last night was oyster stew with 2 pints of oysters rather than one called for in the recipe.
Next week I will make a run to the butcher shop for a knuckle if I can get it or a big roast and a bunch of marrow bones as the base for vegetable soup. I will call tomorrow and ask them not to debone a knuckle for me. When they mechanically debone there is nothing left but bone. I like the tendons for the soup. I have them saw the knuckle length way to get all the goodness of the marrow exposed.

Our vegetable-beef soup is at the top of my list of favorites, but preparing it is an all day tedious job to get it right. The broth is always the key to a good soup, and with vegetable-beef soup doubly so, imo. Dave, your method sounds solid with splitting the bones and exposing the essential marrow. Do you braze them before simmering?

I do not braze or roast them before putting them into the pot. I do see various methods of preparing marrow, more so lately, and I have to softly chuckle---I have been a lover of marrow since I was a little kid---and the source is secondary---beef, pig, or sheep---but I will say beef is my favorite.Originally Posted by wacojoe
When I can't get a knuckle, they always have marrow bones in the freezer. They are cut in about 6" length so I can easily extract any remaining marrow after boiling in the soup pot for hours.
As for the soup---I try my very best not to have a bowl on the first day----for tomorrow will be even better
One advantage here is the weather. I make a BIG pot of soup and like you it is an all day project, when evening comes and I turn off the burner I can simply cart the pot out on the deck and close the door----I'll see you in the morning

I have done that a few times in the past during cold weather. I quit doing it after a coon decided to help itself one night..........One advantage here is the weather.

I have to admit to having that problem as well---so now I tie the lid fast to the handles
So far it has worked---but coons are crafty buggersl

True, dat, but we’ve never been known to pass on the first day.

I forgot one major component--fish sauce!
I add fish sauce to most every kind of soup.
