Cock-A-Leekie Stew image

This is a Scottish dish that is traditionally a thick soup. I prefer it as a thin stew and have adapted my recipe accordingly. I use the entire leek (needs to be cleaned very carefully), but the green tips tend to be a bit tough so you might want to add them earlier in the process if you want to soften them up.

This classic Scottish stew is a perfect winter warmer. The leeks and chicken are so tender and the broth is full of flavor. I served it with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
