Cooking Instructions
- 1
I'm not sure that the grams to cups converters are accurate because the amount of kale I used looks to me like a lot more than 2 cups... The bag I bought was around the same dimensions as the bowl in my sink which held 150g altogether. I looked at 6 different converters and each stated that 1 cup of moderately packed kale weighs 67 grams. I'm not convinced lol. Anyway...
- 2
Melt the sunflower spread in a soup pan then add in the leeks, cabbage and kale and coat well
- 3
Cook covered over a low heat for around 15 minutes until wilted, stirring a few times
- 4
While the greens are wilting, peel the potatoes and dice into 1cm squares
- 5
Add the potatoes to the pan with the chicken stock, bay leaves & salt. Bring up to a simmer
- 6
Let simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft and falling apart
- 7
Take off the heat, stir in the pepper, cream and spring onions and adjust the salt if you need more. Serve with a nice crusty bread!

Vickys Traditional Scottish Tattie Soup, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Traditional Scottish Tattie Soup, GF DF EF SF NF
Looks like the heatwave is over and we're back to our normal Scottish weather! Jack announced it must be a soup day so why not a traditional tattie soup? Add in whatever else you would like, this is the basic, bare bones version. Best with homemade stock - chicken, vegetable or ham - but old-fashioned tattie soup would have been made with beef or mutton bones. My grannie would boil up a ham hough for hers but for the sake of ease and what we enjoy the most, I use an equal mixture of chicken and vegetble stock cubes -

A great frugal recipe to use up all the stringy bits you would possibly throw away after carving your Halloween pumpkin. Where do you think pumpkin puree comes from? It's not normally from the flesh and so these parts are perfect for soup!
