Soup
Scottish

Scotch Broth is a traditional Scottish soup dating back to the 12th century, known for its hearty and comforting flavors. This iconic dish is made with lamb or mutton, barley, root vegetables, and often flavored with thyme and parsley. It has been a staple in Scottish cuisine for centuries, with each region adding its own unique twist. The best version of this dish can be found in traditional Scottish pubs and restaurants, where skilled chefs use high-quality ingredients to create a rich and flavorful broth. The key to a delicious Scotch Broth lies in the slow cooking of the meat and the perfect balance of herbs and vegetables. For a vegetarian alternative, some chefs use lentils and a variety of seasonal vegetables to create a similarly satisfying dish.
