Cock A Leekie Soup
One whole chicken or several pieces of uncooked and boned chicken
wings, legs or quarters
400g of leeks
25g of rice
2 litres of water or soup stock
One teaspoon of brown sugar
Seasoning of salt and pepper, one bay leaf and some thyme
Parsley for the garnish
Directions
Place the chicken into a large pot and add the soup stock or water.
Bring to the boil. As any fatty scum appears at the top of the pot of Cock a Leekie remove and discard
Wash the leeks and roughly chop into about 2cm pieces, using the green and white pieces,
though some cooks prefer just to use the whites of the leeks. Once the chicken or chicken pieces have been boiling for about
one hour add the chopped leeks and the herbs of bay leaf and thyme and bring back to the boil and then simmer for two hours.
The salt and pepper if used can be added at this stage of the recipe
