A Scottish favorite for centuries, a recipe for this traditional Scottish dish, cock-a-leekie, (basically a chicken and leek soup), is open to interpretation. Some cooks may add chopped grilled bacon to the soup, some will use meat stock or vegetable stock, and many suggest offering stewed prunes with the finished dish. Barley is also a grain of choice to make the soup, but rice is preferred. This Scottish classic was made famous for being one of the two choices of soup on the menu from the last first-class luncheon served on Titanic. Today, cock-a-leekie is an everyday winter soup. So the next time you decide to visit Scotland, a country graced with craggy peaks and windswept isles, shimmering lochs, and rugged highlands, don’t forget to embrace the popular lunch bowl that hits the spot.
