Tattie Soup
This is a traditional scottish peasant soup, easy to make and made with the most humble and easily obtained ingredients. Traditionally a handful of finely chopped nettle tops is thrown in 10 minutes before serving but parsley would be a reasonable alternative to freshen up the soup.
Steps
Peel and slice the potatoes , coarsely shred the peeled onions and carrots and cut the bacon into squares.
Bring the water or stock to the boil in a large pan and add the vegetables and bacon.
Cover and simmer gently for 1 hours until the soup is thick and creamy.
Season.
Add the chopped nettle tops or parsley 10 minutes before serving.
