Traditional Scotch Broth image

This the best soup to warm you up on a cold evening. It has a thick & hearty consistency that makes it a satisfying family meal. Doesn't cost much to make as you can use the cheapest cuts of lamb or mutton (whatever is available). I used Lamb shank in this recipe but I often use cheaper cuts and the results are just as good. Tastes even better the next day as the barley gets softer.

I used beef instead of lamb, and it turned out great. The broth was so flavorful and hearty, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I served it with some crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

This Scotch broth was a hit with my family! The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. The broth itself was rich and flavorful, with a slight hint of smokiness. I will definitely be making this again.
