Scotch broth is a Scottish soup made with lamb or mutton along with barley and vegetables. It is also known as barley soup or the pot-au-feu of Scotland. Scotch broth is considered the national soup of Scotland because of its deep, over 200-year history.
This is a simple-to-prepare soup, and the flavors are outstanding, especially if you are a fan of lamb.
