Report
Scotland's answer to chicken noodle soup is comforting, hearty and delicious.

Ingredients
- ½ onion large
- 1 carrot medium
- 2 ribs celery
- 1 tablespoon butter (or oil)
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock for vegetarian version
- ½ cup pearl barley
- A few grinds of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Dice the onion and cut the carrot and celery into relatively thin slices - cut larger slices in half or smaller depending on the thickness of the carrot.
- Melt the butter in a pan and add the onion. Soften for a minute or two then add the carrot and celery. Stir so all the vegetables are coated in the butter and cook for a minute or two.
- Add the stock and barley, season with a little salt and pepper, then stir and cover to bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and leave to cook for approx 35-45min until the barley is cooked then serve.
Notes
- More traditionally, Scotch broth is made with lamb stock and meat, but as noted above, we always made it with chicken growing up and so that's what I grew accustomed to and have shown here. You can switch the meat/stock if you prefer.
