This amazing Scottish chicken soup is probably best known for its highly entertaining name, but it s much more than that. Thanks to lots of leeks, and a surprising secret ingredient, this is one of the most savory, and delicious soups you will ever taste. Foggy: ive been using leeks for only two years. am so happy to see this! i needed the validation that adding 1/2 leeks to melt into soup more or less but adding 1/2 last. but i didnt know just 20 minutes or exact temp i should use so this really helps a lot. THANK YOU! i want to make this with homemade egg noodles in it lol: P

I've always made chicken soup, after roasting the chicken. I've seen you cook it on the stove top in a couple of recipes, so I'm going to try it.
I haven't cooked with leeks, before, and I'm a bit nervous about thorough cleaning. But, of course. I CAN'T cook scared, OR let the food win. Here I come, leeks!

I enjoyed this recipe so much when I made it. I had a little bit of a variation in that I stick blended the first batch of leaks in the broth and then strained it before adding the second half of leeks and the chicken meat and it made for a much goodness.

in chinese cuisine we often add dried red dates (jujubes) to our savory soups which helps balance the flavor (and adds health benefits) and this reminds me of doing that, i definitely want to try this since i love soup. thanks chef john!

I refuse to give this any further explanation, but, I was just thinking I should chop the head of my cock--uh, I mean, butcher my rooster, and I think you have given me a good enough reason. Time to give my axe the ooooold sharpie sharpie!

After I get my prostate taken out a bowl of this might be just the ticket. Edit: This has to be delish. I cannot believe you said If you just wanna rock out. My ex used to yell that at me whenever I cranked up the RUSH on the old HiFi!

As a long-time viewer from Glasgow, this was like a glitch in the Matrix seeing you post this. One of my Gran s favourite soups and something most of my English friends have never heard of. You really did it justice! Thank you!

Chef john I love chicken soup and I do make my own, but I will be trying your cock aleekie soup. Thank you for giving me another soup to make, beside split pea, lental. I make a couple of different lental soups.

PRO: Simpler than I thought!
CON: But 4-1/2 hours to make. In that time I could hop a fight to Scotland, eat it there, and come back home.
BTW: Fun fact -- Was a favourite of Queen Victoria.

Thank you for sharing this, Chef John! We make New England clam chowder with leeks. They do make a big difference. We'll be sure to try Cock-a-Leekie Soup with the next bunch of leeks we get.
