Scotch Broth (Soup/Stew)
Cooking time 1 to 2 hours

Ingredients
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup turnips, diced
2 medium onions, diced
2 sticks celery, diced
1 leek, diced
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup dried peas; presoaked
salt and pepper
1 quart lamb stock
1 bunch kale or other bitter winter greens, rough chopped

Method
1. Add all the ingredients to the stock.

2. Simmer gently for a couple of hours, making sure that the peas
become mushy and the barley expands and becomes soft and white.

3. If you wish, add a few ounces of kale 10 minutes before the end
of the cooking time. Precheck seasoning before serving.
