Traditional Scotch Broth - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 liters water
    lamb bones or a piece lamb
    50 g barley
    1 medium onion, diced
    175 g carrots, diced
    100 g potatoes, diced
    150 g leeks, chopped
    50 g peas
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    The night before soak barley in cold water and put lamb in crock pot and leave overnight, or alternatively boil on stove top then simmer till ready.(I only use some water in the crock pot and add the rest to the cooking pot later).
    Put stock in large soup pot and season.
    Add barley and bring to the boil.
    Add the next four ingredients and simmer till veg and barley are soft, if using flank meat cut some of the meat up and add to soup discarding any fat.
    Add peas and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
    Serve with some crusty bread and enjoy.
