Hello Folks!
I hope I find you all well. So today I made a wonderful pot of Scotch Broth…this time I’ve used chicken as a base and meat but mutton is more commonly used in this type of soup. It’s really tasty and perfect with a big hunk of crusty bread on the side :)
Everything I used will be listed below.

Good evening everyone 🙂 Thanks for joining me! 🥣
My DNA is probably 50% Scotch Broth (mutton), Cock-a-leekie, Lentil and Ham broth, and Beef and Barley Broth. My mum and dad fed a family of seven of us on huge pots of soup with loads of bread. I can’t imagine my life without these deeply comforting and satisfying soups
My mother made the stock from a bone. We would walk out of our area, my mother would call into a butchers "Do you have a bone for the dog." At that time we didn't have a dog. If it was for the dog they gave it to you for free. For soup they charged you tuppence.
Oh I remember those days ☺ my Gran used to do the exact same thing!
@@WhatsForTea I think that is where she learned it, everything from her grandmother.
Before I even start the video, that looks so good. It's still crisp here even though we had some sunshine this week, today is great and it was raining last night. Chicken soup with carrots and it never sounds bad!
I have Covid and 2 of my kids and this is exactly what we need ! Making it right now but using Irish ( broth ) soup mix that includes yellow and green split peas ,red lentils and blue peas. Such a great healthy soup for when you are under the weather like you say ! Thank you for this great video 😊
Theres nothing like home made soup and this looks wonderful. I often make a quick pan of leak and tattie soup for lunch as it's so quick and easy to do. Would love to try this one some time.
Love speaking with a Scot and reminds me of growing up 🙏🙏🏴🏴🌹🌹
“Be warned, you’ll be able to hang your wallpaper with it”…You are such a delight!😂 We are due for a lot of rain this week, plus my mom just got out of the hospital, so I’m definitely going to thaw my chicken now to make this for her. We can all enjoy it and know that it’s nurturing her return to health! Thanks❤
It’ll be the BEST thing for her. Hope your mum feels better soon
I'm in America and just found out the majority of my ancestors are Scots! I'm loving exploring my Scottish heritage! This looks so delicious!
Hello @AngelsWellnessJourneys I'm impressed with your comment. How are you doing today?.. Costachel.
I hope everyone gives this one a go. I was brought up on this and you're totally correct. If you feel a wee bit peely wally have this. You'll be right in no time. This house will be doing this Saturday evening. Fantastic recipe mate. I can already taste it.❤
MMMM, I bet your house smelled lovely while this was cooking. Love ya. I bet Jasper loved the chicken snack.
He was going crazy at the chicken! 😆 he got given a wee bit...and stole a big bit! 🤣 x
that's really similar to how I make it. one thing I do differently as I like it a little thicker is to drag out a couple of ladles and blend them to a pulp before popping it back in the pan.
This looks so delicious!! Mutton is unheard of here in the US except at Mideast and Africam markets. I don't think I have ever had it. I am glad you have a chicken version. My husband would love this! Thanks for sharing!!
Give it a go Laura! It's absolutely delicious
Beef probably a more common substitute for mutton than chicken.
I love a good barley soup. That looks delicious 🥰
Oh it's lovely 🙂 making it the night before really allows the barley to puff up...if you like a thicker soup.
Yummy. I am going to make this over the weekend. Stewing chickens are on sale at my local store. I am in the US and my favorite stock concentrate is from Kitchen Accomplice. It is about the thickness of ketchup and comes in an 8oz. squeeze bottle so I can squeeze more or less, depending on how much I need. They have a low sodium version that is excellent. I keep beef, chicken, and veggie versions on hand.
Put some fluffy dumpling on there Scot :) This looks delicious. Thanks for the vid.
A good dunt of salt and pepper. A classic Scottish measurement. 😂 ❤
Oh I'm missing my Mum's Scotch Broth. Thank you so much for this recipe 😊
I made a veggie version with pulses instead of meat, yum! Great now the weather is getting nippy. 😋
Hello Jacqueline I'm impressed with your comment. What part of the world are you from?.. Costachel.
Lots of versions - cawl in Wales, made with whatever you have.
@@jacquelinepaddock7535 Thank you. I would like to be friends with you, if only you do not mind.
Looks delicious. Definitely making this Sunday. Both my wife and I really like the use of chicken.
That looks delicious!!! I agree I will be using Chicken ❤
Love this soup , if you also have a cold and want to spice it up a bit to help clear your sinuses add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper , works a treat, delicious, btw this is almost the same as Chicken Noodle Soup in the U.S. instead of the pearl barley you add egg noodles and a bit of milk at the end, both amazing. 💖💖👍👍
Have you tried a seasoning powder called Vegeta? It's lovely for adding a bit of something-something to soups. For beef soups I like to use Maggi liquid, a little dash does a lot.
When my mum was a little girl, she asked her mum what that was floating on top of the soup? My gran answered - It's the GOODNESS!
Oh I haven't heard of that 🤩
This looks so good especially on a cool day. Thank you
TKS for the video. I am Asian married to Scottish for 22yrs. We settled down in borneo and my husband missed his Scottish broth. I used to buy his can of Scottish broth from. Supermarket. Not only the price was so expensive compared to UK, but now, hardly get any more from the supermarket after covid. pandemic.. I will give it a go and see if he like it. Hopefully he will find it similar to what he has from UK.
Looks bloody delicious 😋 great recipe as always!
OMG this looks delicious! Reminds me of my family's Acadian Chicken Fricot.
1 whole chicken approx 3 lbs, skin removed and chopped into pieces
approx 10 cups of water
2 large onions chopped
6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2-3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 Tbs summer savory (this is what gives it the flavor, but not sure if it's available outside of Atlantic Canada)
Dumplings
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 cup or more cold water*
We always just put the chicken, onions, potatoes, carrots and seasonings into the pot and add the water and boil it all together. I know it's probably not the *right* way to do it, but it's how we've always cooked it. Obviously if your chicken pieces are big and have the bones in, you may need to start them first.
It will cook for anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour total, again depends on the size of the chicken and the vegetables. Lately I use boneless, skinless chicken that I cut into bite size pieces and I cut my vegetables into bite size pieces and cook it all together. The broth isn't as rich with boneless chicken so you could always add some bouillon or stock pots or whatever to add in that extra richness. Some people sauté the onions in butter first, which would add a richness, but I'm far too lazy for that.
In a bowl mix your dumpling dry ingredients. slowly stir in the cold water until it is just combined and forms a very loose dough. You will drop this by spoonful's into the stew/fricot. This next part is crucial, work fast, then once they are all in, cover the pot with a lid and let sit for 7 minutes on low-medium to low heat. you want it to simmer but not boil. Do not peek for the 7 minutes.
Some people add celery and some even put in some turnip or what you call swede into their fricot, but our recipe never had those. For the dumplings, some people make them different with butter and milk, but this was the basic way my late grandmother made them. They were poor and adding butter and milk weren't easily available. My mom is the youngest of 11 kids, so they needed to make their food stretch and do so as cheaply as possible.
Your videos are so heart warming ❤thank you
This broth looks so good! Thanks for another great video!
Looks like a lovely bowl of soup.
That looks delicious.cheryl. I'm.definately gonna give this 1 a go. Hubby not keen.on pearl barley but I'm.sure he's gonna love this. And like the idea of having chicken rolls with it as well. And lots of leftovers to freeze as well. Another great recipe
Karen if your hubby doesn’t like pearl barley you can replace it with white long grain rice, also delicious.😋
Looks so delicious and comforting! Will definitely be making this. Thank you! 🍲
I got such a pang of nostalgia from this because we ate it growing up in Newcastle as well. She'd add soft dumplings too that she'd call clooty (not like sweet scottish ones). You've inspired me to make this this weekend thank you!
Definitely going to try this. It looks delicious.
Looks so satisfying can’t beat a home made soup and this looks delicious… I could have done with a bowl today as I’ve got a cold 😢 thanks for sharing Cheryl 💕
Thank you for the recipe. I went to Scotland before COVID in November. I tried this soup and fell in love with it. Now I can make it myself. Thanks.
Thanks for the recipe Cheryl, that chicken broth looks absolutely delicious.😋👍
This looks delicious!!!!
Cheryl another delicious recipe,,soup looks like I would love a big bowl 😊
Soul looks delicious ! I do make some soups of my own but never made this one. Will definitely try it. 👍👍
Beautiful Cheryl I love that I making that Thankyou xxx👍🏴🏴🏴
Looks amazing.
I will be making this! looks so good.
Thanks for your recipe Cheryl.
You're very welcome Deborah!
Perfect on a cold day. Looks lovely.
Hello Lisa I'm impressed with your comment. What part of the world are you from?.. Costachel.
This is the first time I've made a chicken soup that looked and tasted great! Thank you so much for this tutorial. 😊
This looks so so good!!!!
Oh it's amazing Jean 😍 it looks very plain, but the flavour (because of that chicken) is absolutely delicious!
Well worth a try 👍 thank you
Looks like the "stock pots" aren't easily available in the US. I was able to find an ingredients list for them - all good, except that it lists rosemary, which sadly I am allergic to. But that makes me feel better about making this lovely recipe with the stock base I do have, so there's my silver lining! Thanks for posting this video and the recipe details! 🙂
UPDATE: I made this soup over the weekend - lovely! I added celery and a bay leaf (LOL, my motto is "Everything's better with bay leaf!") and yum! Tasty!
Good afternoon from here in Tennessee, USA!!
Good afternoon!
This is pretty much how I build most of my soups…with whatever I have in the fridge
Hello @erinmcgrathejm4985 I'm impressed with your comment. What part of the world are you from?.. Costachel.
Looks delicious Cheryl
Looks delicious!
That looks marvelous. I love chicken done like that.
It was so tender Lisa...full of flavour too! 🙂
I made this last week, and it is my new favorite soup!! My husband had two bowls (he seldom has seconds), and I gave some to my parents as well. They also really enjoyed it. Thank you so much!!
I have made this soup loads of times it's a brilliant recipe , I also add a little celery or sometimes a little pasta.
Looks amazing
Know that looks delicious thank you 👍
Thank you for this recipe x
Mmmmm 😋, my favourite a steaming bowl of hearty chicken soup 🍲 it looks absolutely delicious Cheryl. I normally make mine pretty much following the same ingredients but with the inclusion of some ribs of celery, a leak & normally use rice, but will try making it with pearl barley the next time at your recommendation. Your rolls looked the business as well, no scrimping on the filling!😉👌 Take care & happy cooking 🧑🍳 💕💞💗
Hello there Cheryl. Looks like this is almost a hand me down recipe, loved and enjoyed x
Hello Mary I'm impressed with your comment. What part of the world are you from?.. Costachel.
Another good one Cheryl, we live on soup all year round, variety of flavours. Coming into winter downunder there will be more.😊
Try roasting the chicken first. Get your roast chicken meal and the left overs go Inti he stock pot. Will add more flavour. In the old days was the leftover Sunday roast that would make the soup stock base on the Monday and soup for at least 2 days….
Looks delicious thankyou
Its just coming into Autumn here in NZ and Ive got a nasty cold. This looks just the ticket and I have all the ingredients yay! Might add some garlic to scare away my cold as well
I make the Scotch Broth with lamb and beef, cabbage, etc. This looks wonderful!!! It would be a nice change from regular chicken soup!!
Looks amazing. You made me laugh when you said you can hang your wallpaper with it if you leave the soup overnight. I love a thick soup 😊 x
Ahhh Scotch broth the better kind with the chicken ....🤩🤤 Nice one Chef 👩🍳👍
Making this today ,,Great price on fresh whole chicken today 🥰😇 Awesome recipe 😊
Wonderful thankyou 👍
Oh yummy, I’m going to give that a go. Thanks for sharing 🍲
You're very welcome Dianne 🤩 It's lovely...make sure to use a whole chicken for the stock though (for the flavour) Using chicken breast or similar just wouldn't be the same x
@@WhatsForTea I’ve just bought 5 whole chickens from the company shop today - 1 will be going in the pot! 🐔 🐓 🥘 xx
Looks really nice x
Hello Theresa!
Now this is why I watch
I just want to come round for my tea! Xx
Over here in northern Ireland we have a similar recipe called vegetable broth made the same way with the same ingredients only we add more vegetables,leeks, parsnips celery we also add soup mix which is barley lentils split peas
Yours also looked delicious
We also have vegetable broth.
Haha 'hang your wallpaper' nice one Cheryl 😂
ooo this sounds delicious 😋 I'll definitely be giving this a go 😊 The last 3 days we've been having bacon and lentil soup for lunch - one of your recipes I copied down aaages ago and have made a few times now. Even took the time to work out the cost and it worked out as less than 50p per portion (trying to save money at the mo)😁
Thanks for the inspiration!
It isn't really Scotch Broth if made with anything other than mutton....however, it certainly is a wonderful twist on chicken soup, and it does look marvelous....now that'll stick to your ribs as good as the Scotch Broth!!..Two thumbs up!!
Thank You Nice Lady
Looks so good but I'd definitely add in those delicious chicken legs and thighs, too! Sure does look good! I could go for a bowl right now, in fact!
This looks amazing! I've made chicken soup but never with using the whole chicken to make a the stock, so I definitely want to give this a go. Do you have to do anything to prep the chicken first? I don't really cook with chicken very much because I get so concerned about the prep and making sure it's cooked enough, so any tips people have would be much appreciated!
Broth always sounds very angry terminology but soup is soothing! (also Pearl Barley is very good if your vehicle gets stuck in the Snow also as you can pop it under your wheels)
A good dunt of salt n pepper Dunt great Scotsh word.
Can also pop some egg noodles in there for a bit more heft.
Hang your wallpaper with it 😂 brilliant
Yummy
I laughed out loud at the wallpaper comment 😂😂
Yummmmm
I live south of stonehaven so i was looking for a Scottish soup that I know, I saw the name and wondered if it’s the ‘what’s for tea’ farm shops near me. My carer & I cooked the chicken, she chopped veg and we put it in the stock overnight for me to cook the next day. Unfortunately I could only get broth mix which said overnight, away to start cooking but as it’s in the stock will it be okay to boil abit longer rather than softening the veg? I’m looking forward to enjoying this and freezing sone for when I get snowed in. Can’t wait to look at your other recipes 😊
Cant beat a cullen skink!!
Oh my favourite! 😋
Mmmhhhhhh 🤤
❤ gorgeous
My husband doesn't like pearl barley, so can I add it at a later stage after taking out a barley free portion for him?
Once again, Scotland and Sweden are close :-)
Hang your wallpaper of it lol!!😂
Could you add a leek as I’ve got one going
A good substitute for Chickensoup (shows genetic heritage!)
Scottish penicillin ☺️
Can you use something else instead of barley like lentils?
I’ve made this with lentils and it was nice.
Hi Cheryl I z love this wonderful recipe you made you Are a sweetie God bless you and your Family 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🥰🥰💕🌺🌷💐💗🌹💙🍀💜❤️💚❤️🩹💘🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
