Creamy Mushroom & Marrow Soup/Puree
Iron rich
About the recipe
A nourishing, earthy soup rich in healthy fats and flavour—perfect for the whole family, from babies to grown-ups.
This Creamy Mushroom & Marrow Soup (which can also be blended into a beautiful purée) is comfort food with a nutrient-dense twist. Featuring roasted bone marrow, white mushrooms, potatoes and a hint of thyme, it’s rich in umami flavour, gut-loving nutrients, and the perfect warming bowl on a cool day.
Bone marrow is high in collagen, healthy fats, and minerals like zinc and iron—making this recipe especially beneficial for growing babies and tired mums. Mushrooms add a savoury depth and are a great source of antioxidants and B vitamins. And the soft, silky texture makes this one ideal for babies learning to eat, while still being satisfying enough for older kids and adults.
This recipe is simple, freezable, and can easily be adjusted for your family’s needs. You can serve it chunky, blended smooth, or even mixed through rice or pasta for a creamy sauce. It’s delicious with crusty bread or topped with fresh herbs and a swirl of yoghurt.
Age Suitable:
✔ Suitable from 6 months+

Top Tip: Sun Your Mushrooms!
Placing your mushrooms in the sun for 30–60 minutes before cooking can increase their vitamin D content—a great, natural way to support immune and bone health, especially in winter months.
Nutritional Highlight: Why Bone Marrow?
Bone marrow is an incredible source of collagen, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals like zinc, iron, and phosphorus. These are all essential for growth, brain development, and immune support—particularly for babies, toddlers and postpartum mothers.
