Scottish Leek Soup RecipesThere are a number of Scottish Leek soup recipes but of course the two most famous ones are, "Cock-a-Leekie" and "Potato (or Tattie) and Leek". It is traditionally served as the starter at a Burns Supper followed by the main course of Haggis, chappit potatoes and bashed neeps, with the delicious desert of Tipsy Laird to follow. After Haggis and and the world-famous Shortbread, I think Cock-a-Leekie soup might be one of the most famous. It is an ancient dish and is served in all walks of life across Scotland. The traditional way is to make the stock from a whole fresh chicken, rather than just leftovers, although I think today it is often made with the leftover bones after a roast chicken dinner. The weirdest ingredient is prunes - and for the life me I have been unable to find when they were introduced to this soup, but somehow it works! Like many other dishes, you'll find dozens of varying recipes - I hope you enjoy this one. Both these Scottish Leek Soup Recipes are worth a try. Other traditional Scottish Soups are Cullen Skink and of course the famous Scotch Broth. My favourite, however, is Lentil - a very easy and simple soup.
