TASTY SCOTTISH COCK-A-LEEKIE SOUP
Cock-a-leekie soup is a staple dish in many Scottish homes and, if you've been brought up eating Scottish food, there is a high chance you'll be familiar with this warming chicken and leek based soup. Traditionally served in the winter and named 'Scotland's National Soup' Cock-a-leekie is a thick and flavoursome soup consisting of leeks, chicken and rice traditionally garnished with prunes.

Steps:
- Chop the green parts off the leeks and put in the bottom of a pot, place the chicken on top.
- Surround the chicken with the celery sticks, carrots, onion, and bay leaves. Cut them down to fit if necessary.
- Add liberal amounts of salt and white pepper.
- Pour cold water over the top (it should cover the chicken so you may need to use a little more or less than stated.
- Cover and bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for about one hour, until juices run clear when you push a knife into the chicken, or the chicken is falling off the bone.
- Chop two whites of the leeks into rounds. The other two remains of the leeks are not necessary for the rest of the recipe so you can set aside to use for something else.
- Chop the 2 remaining carrots into small pieces.
- Use a spoon to remove some of the fat that floats to the top of the water.
- Remove the chicken (I find the most uncomplicated way is to put in a colander over a bowl to collect any extra liquid, then tip the liquid back in the pot).
- Set aside to cool a little.
- Take the green part of the leeks, the onion, celery, and carrots from your stock.
- Add the chopped whites of the leeks and the carrot and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the rice and simmer for a further 15 minutes, until the rice is cooked.
- Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the bone and shred, and discard the bones.
- Taste the stock and add more salt and pepper if necessary or simmer for longer and allow it to reduce to strengthen the flavour.
- Add the shredded chicken back in and allow to heat through for a few minutes.
- Dish into a bowl and sprinkle with a few chopped, dried, prunes then serve.

COCK-A-LEEKIE SOUP
Cock-a-Leekie is a comforting, traditional Scottish soup made with a whole chicken, leeks and often prunes. Perfect for a cold day or a Robbie Burns supper! This is a quick version and the process is simplified by using prepared chicken broth, cooked chicken, barley and potatoes. A bit of brown sugar substitutes for the prunes.

Steps:
- Heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat in a deep soup pot.
- Remove tough green ends of leeks. Split in half and run under cold water to remove any dirt residue. Slice white and tender green portion into ½ inch (1.25 cm) half moons. Add to soup pot with the minced garlic. Increase heat to medium high. Stir and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Dice the potato. As long as they are scrubbed it isn't necessary to peel the carrots or potatoes. Stir into the soup pot and continue to sauté while stirring.
- Dice the cooked chicken. Add to pot with the barley, chicken broth, thyme leaves, bay leaves and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until barley is tender.
- Stir in brown sugar. Taste and add salt if needed. How much salt you need depends on the saltiness of the broth. Remove bay leaves.
- To serve garnish with fresh chopped parsley (optional garnish).

COCK-A-LEEKIE SOUP (SCOTTISH CHICKEN AND LEEK SOUP)
Leeks star in this classic Scottish chicken soup, adding their sweet, oniony flavor to the meaty, fragrant broth. Some versions of this recipe omit the prunes, but their rich fruitiness is what sets this dish apart from other chicken soups. Rice, either brown or white, can stand in for the barley, and some recipes call for oats (in which case use an equal amount of steel-cut, rather than rolled). For a heartier, more stewlike soup, use 3/4 cup barley.

Steps:
- Season chicken with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set chicken aside while prepping the other ingredients.
- Put leek greens, carrot peels, celery leaves, garlic, parsley stems, thyme, bay leaf and star anise at bottom of a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Place chicken on top of the vegetables. Add remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the peppercorns, and pour in 8 cups cold water, or enough to just submerge the chicken.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and partly cover the pot. Cook until chicken is cooked through and very tender, 45 to 55 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, thickly slice 3 of the leek whites into 1/2-inch coins. Thinly slice the remaining leek white; set thinly and thickly sliced leeks aside separately.
- When the chicken is tender, using tongs, transfer to a large bowl or plate to cool. Strain the broth into a large bowl, discarding vegetables and herbs.
- Wipe out the Dutch oven and return it to medium-high heat. Add butter, letting it melt. Add the thick leek coins (save the thinly sliced leek for garnish), a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté until tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer leek whites to a bowl (they can go on top of the chicken if there's room).
- Pour broth back into the pot. Bring broth to a brisk simmer, and stir in barley, carrots and celery. Let broth simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced by a third, and the barley and vegetables are tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
- While the broth is simmering, use a fork or your fingers to shred chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding skin and bones.
- Once the barley and vegetables are tender, stir in shredded chicken, sautéed leek whites and the prunes, and simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the prunes to soften (some might disintegrate). Taste and add salt, if needed. To serve, garnish with thinly sliced leek whites and parsley leaves.

- Add the leeks, prunes, and barley to the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thick, about 40 minutes more. Once the chicken has cooled, shred the meat. Finely dice the carrot and celery. Stir the chicken, carrot, celery, and parsley into the soup, heat through, and serve.

QUICK AND LIGHT COCKALEEKIE SOUP (CHICKEN AND LEEK)
The distinct flavor of leeks makes a wonderful light soup. Even though I have Scotch ancestors, I've never made this using prunes. Its so good in its simple form, I just hate to tinker. (From an old Doubleday Cookbook.)
