Ingredients

Servings
  • 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
  • salt a few grinds of
  • black pepper a few grinds of

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the stock and barley, season with a little salt and pepper, then stir and cover to bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. 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.
