is a collection of rather sad vegetables

that are a bit past their best but it

won't make any difference

I'm gonna put them in a soup as you see

the carrots have started to seed and the

leeks are past their best and the

parsley is looking a bit sad for itself

it's still fresh so it's good enough the

chicken thankfully is just fine mine

used to make this and I was going to

make it when we were in Carrick because

that's very close to where I grew up and

where she taught me to cook this and she

used a lot of Barney in it so she called

it Barney soup but it's really closer to

chicken broth and since we're in

Scotland today the closest soup really

sure it would be cock-a-leekie so and I

happened to have some leeks sounding

rather than boring you to death

watching me chop things up what I'll do

is I will just simply we have my knife

so that's it all chopped so I've left

some of the leeks wake up because why

not

I'll do the parsley a bit later and then

about two tablespoons of lentils and

just cover the top with some mixed herbs

and then the party will go in good of

all I suppose you're in the mood you

could use butter or margarine if you're

that way inclined I'm just using like

you say I don't know these ingredients

in a particular order

I've got roughly one diced chicken

breast but you can use anything turkey

leftover chicken

whyever with the onions as well

my supposed to have an order I get these

going better put in the root vegetable

second two teaspoons of garlic in there

use chopped garlic up and see but on the

boat garlic in a tube say fresh most are

you started any chili pepper just enough

to cover me buddy check in with a bit of

pepper a huge amount of these stock

cubes generally I find are salty enough

so don't tend to add any more so you

have a bit of water in here things from

very different so mixed herbs just

lightly cover the pot under pickle add

in my lentils at this point as well

- well that's just about to boil

and it's not just covered with water I'm

going to use all of this parsley it'll

keep any of it now you can pick all the

softest but I used to do as a kid I used

to pick each individual bit of parsley

off the top just as quick to get a knife

and just rub it off the edge of the

knife you tend to miss much doing this

what you do miss and get your fingertips

like the stalks I knew there was chicken

on this board earlier but it's all gonna

boil now pop for an RT so I'm not really

too panicked about it

I'm sure the Health and Safety Brigade

would be after me but you've got to

fight me first and I think by the boat

as it moves around and they can't keep

track of me ha ha ha

now it's just a matter of donating the

suit down to whatever consistency you

like you so if you like a really really

thick broth don't do it too much

watering if you like a thinner soup but

no watering complicated of illegal this

night goes in one last stir and let it

get overcooking until it's ready so it's

a few hours later and this is what we

have
