As Sue Lawrence points out in her introduction to this smart little volume of tasty recipes, Scottish soups like Cullen Skink, Scotch Broth, and Cock-A-Leekie need no introduction. And soup has always been something done well in Scotland. With weather that leans toward the cold and wet, soup is something like an everyday part of one’s diet. As Lawrence points out, soup-making is a wise and frugal way of making use of what’s on hand, getting creative with the odd bits of ingredients left in the fridge or of shifting numbers of guests.
Lawrence provides recipes for the above-mentioned classics, but she also delves into some slightly more adventurous soups, like Winkles Soup (sea snails!), Arbroath Smokie and Lovage Soup, Bawd Bree (hare soup), and other surprises. Wintery cold weather will doubtless make you want to try making Lawrence's Barley & Bean Soup, Cauliflower Cheese Soup or others featured in this handy volume. 40 recipes in total. 96 pages. paperback.
