Mum bought me this book a few years ago, I absolutely love The Broons and Oor Wullie, I got their annuals every Christmas and had them read before hogmany!. I decided to add Maw Broon's tattie soup recipe in our Scottish Christmas in July weekend. The recipe calls for bone broth, so I bought some bones to make it the day before making the soup, so I have added her recipe for bone stock also. Ingredients 8-10 tatties 1-2 onions 2 carrots, grated bone stock salt & pepper Method Wash, peel and slice tatties. Wash, scrape and grate the carrots. Peel and cut up the onion. In a large pot, add these vegetables to the already made bone stock, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Once cooked, give the soup a little mash to help break up the tatties, season to taste. Enjoy.
