Scottish Broth Recipe
Scottish broth, although it is called broth, is not. In fact, this is a very thick, dense and incredibly delicious soup-puree of pearl barley and peas. A very light soup, despite the rather satisfying ingredients. If you add dry mushrooms instead of ribs, you will get an amazing lean dish.
