Hello Folks!
I hope I find you all well. So today I made a wonderful pot of Scotch Broth…this time I’ve used chicken as a base and meat but mutton is more commonly used in this type of soup. It’s really tasty and perfect with a big hunk of crusty bread on the side :)

Everything I used will be listed below.

    Good evening everyone 🙂 Thanks for joining me! 🥣
  • My DNA is probably 50% Scotch Broth (mutton), Cock-a-leekie, Lentil and Ham broth, and Beef and Barley Broth. My mum and dad fed a family of seven of us on huge pots of soup with loads of bread. I can’t imagine my life without these deeply comforting and satisfying soups
  • My mother made the stock from a bone. We would walk out of our area, my mother would call into a butchers "Do you have a bone for the dog." At that time we didn't have a dog. If it was for the dog they gave it to you for free. For soup they charged you tuppence.
  • I have Covid and 2 of my kids and this is exactly what we need ! Making it right now but using Irish ( broth ) soup mix that includes yellow and green split peas ,red lentils and blue peas. Such a great healthy soup for when you are under the weather like you say ! Thank you for this great video 😊

    Before I even start the video, that looks so good. It's still crisp here even though we had some sunshine this week, today is great and it was raining last night. Chicken soup with carrots and it never sounds bad!

    Love speaking with a Scot and reminds me of growing up 🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌹🌹
  • Theres nothing like home made soup and this looks wonderful. I often make a quick pan of leak and tattie soup for lunch as it's so quick and easy to do. Would love to try this one some time.
  • I'm in America and just found out the majority of my ancestors are Scots! I'm loving exploring my Scottish heritage! This looks so delicious!

    “Be warned, you’ll be able to hang your wallpaper with it”…You are such a delight!😂 We are due for a lot of rain this week, plus my mom just got out of the hospital, so I’m definitely going to thaw my chicken now to make this for her. We can all enjoy it and know that it’s nurturing her return to health! Thanks❤

  • @schizoozy

  • @MrJokerh61
    Your videos are so heart warming ❤thank you
  • Oh I'm missing my Mum's Scotch Broth. Thank you so much for this recipe 😊
  • @cyberlizardcouk
    that's really similar to how I make it. one thing I do differently as I like it a little thicker is to drag out a couple of ladles and blend them to a pulp before popping it back in the pan.
  • @amyoung101
    I love a good barley soup. That looks delicious 🥰
  • @lauraellen189
    This looks so delicious!! Mutton is unheard of here in the US except at Mideast and Africam markets. I don't think I have ever had it. I am glad you have a chicken version. My husband would love this! Thanks for sharing!!
