"This recipe comes from The Gourmet Slow Cooker by Lynn Alley. Scotch Broth is a Scottish tradition that dates bake hundreds of years. This dish has plenty of substance and flavor. Cooking it in the crockpot makes it so easy to have dinner ready in no time. It is suggested that this be served with a Scotch beer or ale and some heavy crusty bread."

This recipe is delicious but you need to delete the celery and add small turnips instead. Scottish people are not much into celery and certainly not pre 1990. I was born and raised in Scotland and rarely saw celery in the grocery store before that date. Even now its not that popular. I don't understand why Americans feel the need to put celery in everything.

Agreed that celery has NEVER been a feature in scotch broth, but neither has lamb chops come to that. Not very authentic.

I did this to the letter apart from I couldn't get shoulder chops, so I used a pack of stewing lamb on the bone. It may have been shin? Anyway it was pretty good. After 4 hours or so on low in the SC I pulled out the lamb, removed the flesh from the bone (dog had the bones as treats) and put it back in for another 2 hours. This dish is very easy to over season, so be careful not to put any in from the beginning, and taste properly before serving, too much pepper and salt ruins it.

Delicious! We did use lamb stock cubes in addition to the water, since we had some. Hubby wanted scotch broth; I'd never had it; he's only had it out of cans before (*shudder*). I tried your recipe, and it was just as easy as opening a can, but worlds better! Likely about the same price, too. I'm usually very picky about soup, but this was stellar! Fabulous, easy, really great comfort food.

So tasty and easy. Like another reviewer noted, lamb and leeks are personal favorites, and a winning combination in this recipe. Thanks, PaulaG, for sharing this very comforting soup.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
