Scotch Broth

Scotch broth is a hearty soup made with lamb meat, pearl barley, and an assortment of vegetables such as leeks, onions, carrots, and peas. Traditionally, the soup was especially popular on New Year's Day and on cold winter days. During those times, the meat would be removed and consumed separately, but today, Scotch broth is prepared as a one-pot meal.

It is believed that the soup tastes even better if reheated the next day, when all of the flavors fully develop.
