Scotch Broth must be made with lamb. If you substitute lamb for the the beef, you will get a decent version of Scotch Broth. Until then, it is a version of Beef Barley.

Awesome! My whole family loved this! Even my son-4 yr old- who could be Mikey in the old Life commercials. "Mikey likes it.". I followed recipe pretty close. Although I don't think I effectively chilled the broth b/tw b/c I ran out of time. Also, took no longer than 2.5 hrs total for me to get meat off one and tender veggies. Will make double next time. Don't know anything about true "Scotch broth" but I'm sure this recipe would be wonderful with lamb bone as well. I did use beef bone. I've been working backwards lately, ordering foods in stock/season from local coop then finding a recipe to accomodate. I've been pleasantly surprised.

It was great! Made it just as printed except I added more peppercorns and a parsnip diced with the veggies... A very tasty hearty soup!

While this is a very good soup, it's not Scotch Broth. Scotch Broth is and always has been made with Lamb, usually lamb neck bones or lamb shanks. The ingredients are those used in good Scotch Broth.

I am not big on eating red meats like beef, so I replaced the beef with tofu, but besides that, this was a fantastic recipe. Definitely something that I'm going to continue making for the winter! Thank you soooo much!
