Ingredients:

700g lamb cubed
700g potatoes, finely diced
225g carrots, thinly sliced
225g swede, thinly sliced
225g turnips, thinly sliced
½ Savoy cabbage, shredded
2 leeks, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2.2l water
4 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Heat a frying pan and brown the meat in this, discarding the fat. Meanwhile bring the water to a boil in a large stock pot and add the meat. Boil for half an hour then add the root vegetables and onion. Turn the heat to a simmer and cook for two hours. At this point, add the remaining vegetables and season.

Cook for a further half an hour then serve immediately in bowls. Add a handful of chopped parsley on top of each bowl of cawl.

As a note, if you add more vegetables and cook for longer, then the cawl becomes a stew rather than a soup.
