Cock-A-Leekie Soup
Assemble your ingredients
It wouldn't be cock-a-leekie without leeks
Or chicken..
Simmer for one hour before adding rice
The finished soup. Yum.
Ingredients
- 1 boiling chicken
- 2 litres water
- 6 chopped leeks
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons rice
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
The national soup of Scotland, this is a great winter soup, but quite light. The recipe here is based on a traditional one.
Instructions
-
Place the chicken in a large saucepan with the cold water and salt.
-
Bring slowly to the simmer, skimming any fat or scum that appears on the surface. Simmer for one hour.
-
Add the leeks, onions and rice and simmer for another 30 minutes or so until the chicken is tender.
-
Remove the chicken and skim off any remaining fat. Add the parsley and season as required.
Traditionally the chicken would have been served as a main course with the broth as an accompaniment. If you like you can strip the bird of meat and serve as a soup.
