Cock-a-leekie
[4] Traditionally, the soup is made with broiler fowl and would not contain thickeners, or vegetables other than leeks.The original cock a leekie is delicate and refreshing and difficult to make flavoursome whereas the more appetizing modern version which has more chicken, vegetable and thickener is closer to chicken soup or stew.There are vegetarian versions which has leeks and may include mixed vegetables, chicken flavoured meat substitute and/or prunes.The earliest recipe is from the Victorian era cookbook writer Isabella Beeton, and is thickened with "the fine part of oatmeal"."Cockie Leekie" was an offering on the 1st Class passenger luncheon menu of the RMS Titanic on April 14, 1912.
