I decided to experiment with vegetarian cock-a-leekie soup.

Method

  1. I boiled a whole packet of Quorn chicken style meat substitute with most of a tin of prunes preserved in fruit juice adding some water. I couldn't resist eating a few prunes at once so I replaced them with a few dried raisins and other mixed dried fruit.
  2. I cut up a small Potato and half a leek.
  3. I boiled the potato and leek together in a separate saucepan and added a small amount of the cooked Quorn and fruit.
  4. I added a little camembert cheese (Vegans can probably leave this out, also other mild cheeses like cottage cheese will probably also work). [1] [2]

REsult

The prunes and dried fruit mostly disintegrated during cooking. Still this flavoured the broth and I liked the combination between chicken flavoured Quorn and prunes. Now I'll freeze the rest of the Quorn and prune mix so I'll be stuck with this for some time. If you feel like something more like traditional Cock-a-leekie soup, say for Burn's Night it's probably better to add dried pruneslate in cooking to keep them fairly firm.
