Cock-a-leekie is a traditional Scottish soup made with chicken and leeks.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken thighs, bone in, skin removed
- 10 cups water
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup barley
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth
- 7 medium leeks, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, thickly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken into a large pot; pour in water and add onion and barley. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
Step 2
Use tongs to transfer chicken to a cutting board. Discard skin and bones; chop meat into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.
Step 3
Add condensed broth, leeks, celery, parsley, salt, pepper, and thyme; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Tips
One pound of peeled, cubed potatoes can be used instead of barley if desired.
