Cock-A-Leekie Stew Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Cock-A-Leekie Stew Recipe). This is a Scottish dish that is traditionally a thick soup. I prefer it as a thin stew and have adapted my recipe accordingly. I use the entire leek (needs to be cleaned very carefully), but the green tips tend to be a bit tough so you might want to add them earlier in the process if you want to soften them up.
