List of Ingredients
8 cups cold water
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 lbs. lamb's neck or shank or mixture of both
2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons pot barley
2 sliced carrots
2 diced onions
1 dice large leek (optional)
1 cup diced turnips
2 diced celery stalks
2 cups finely chopped green cabbage
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup rolled oats
Recipe
To water in a large saucepan, add bay leaf, pepper and meat. Slowly bring to a boil, skimming it just before it boils. (This is important--it improves the soup's color and flavor.)
Add salt, boil a few seconds and skim again. Add remaining ingredients, except butter and oats. Slowly bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 2 hours.
Melt butter in a frying pan, add oats and stir over medium heat until nutty brown. Add to soup and cook 10-15 minutes more.
