Liverpool Lamb and Vegetable Soup (Scouse)

Liverpool Lamb and Vegetable Soup (Scouse)

This is a traditional recipe for Liverpool scouse, also known as "lobscouse". The sauce is not thickened, and it is usual to serve with preserved beetroot or red cabbage and white bread with butter. An even more impoverished variety of this dish is 'blind Scouse', which features no meat.
