    I used to get tattie soup made with mince instead of boiling beef when I was a kid and it was great. I think it was just made the usuall way. I will try it and see if it works.

    Default Mince Soup

    Take 1lb of STEAK mince and brown in some sunflower oil in a heavy bottomed or soup pan. Add about two and a half pints of BOILING water and two KNORR chicken stock cubes. Use chicken not beef as they make better soup. Take carrots, 2 leeks, 1 large onion and turnip diced and add to the liquid. Then roughly chop either kerrs pinks or red rooster potatoes into small chunks and add Use only these kind of potatoes as they soften easier and help to thicken the soup. Add as much veg as you like depending on how thick you want the soup. Simmer for about an hour or until the veg are soft. If its not thick enough use a potato masher. When ready add a knob of butter and stir and serve.

    Sorry I dont have measurements as such but Im inclined to throw everything in. I find the thicker the soup the better.

    Default Memories!

    Dont know how to make it (although it shouldnt be too hard) but i remember from a blurry time long ago buying pot noodles, egg rolls and his famous mince and tattie soup from oggies caravan which could be found on a saturday night opposite the courthouse in Wick. Maybe it was the many rum and blacks, but i thought it was the best soup id ever tasted!
