Scotch broth.

[timothy]

This is a copycat of Campbell's. I used some leftover leg of lamb from Easter.

directions​

• Soak the barley in cold water while you make the lamb broth.
• Put two lamb shanks in a 6 quart soup pot (I like enameled cast iron) and brown them on all sides in a little oil.
• Add 8 cups of beef broth and 4 cups of water.
• Bring to a simmer and simmer for ten minutes.
• Skim the scum off the surface until it is clear.
• Add bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and dried parsley to pot.
• Simmer, lid ajar, for two hours until lamb is very tender and ready to fall off the bone.
• Remove lamb from the stock and cut meat into small pieces. Discard gristle, fat and bone.
• Chill the stock, then skim the congealed lamb fat off the top and discard it.
• Remove the bay leaf and discard.
• Saute all the chopped vegetables in a large skillet in 2 Tablespoons of butter for five to ten minutes until they are soft. Do not brown.
• Add the sauteed vegetables and the soaked drained barley to the stock and simmer, covered, about 45 minutes or until vegetables and barley are tender.
• Add lamb meat back into the soup.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a little salt if needed.
• Serve piping hot with freshly ground pepper on top.

I just tasted it and it's a good, AFAIR.
We lived across the tracks from the Campbell's soup factory on 35th and Rockwell.
Mom used to hang our clothes on a clothesline and every so often a few days a month she'd get black soot on our clothes.
Campbells had a huge smokestack back then, you could see it for miles. She'd call and complain, saying you're burning cardboard or paper.
A few days later some salesman shows up to our door with cases of soup and a apology.
Scotch broth, pepper pot and bean with bacon were some of my favorites.
