Cawl (Traditional Welsh Broth) image

The recipe that follows is one that is popular with, and derived from, the local farming community of Cardiganshire. There are regional variations throughout Wales as to what meat is used; some use Pork or Mutton we use Shin Beef. The quantities used here are based on my own requirements for two to three days, as this soup is one that improves on subsequent re-heating. Serve with lightly buttered bread and a good mature Cheddar cheese

This cawl was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I made this cawl with beef instead of lamb and it was still very good. The broth was flavorful and the beef was tender.
