Any good soup recipes with lamb broth?

I did a lovely lamb shank in my slow-cooker today and I've saved the bone and there's some really nice broth left over. Does anyone have any suggestions for recipes for soup with lamb broth?Any good soup recipes with lamb broth?
Scotch Broth Soup Ingredients:





1kg neck of mutton or lamb (my mum sometimes uses chicken)


75g pearl barley


1 large onion


75g split peas or fresh peas


1 large leek


3 wee neeps (turnip)


1 swede


water depending on thickness required - try 2.5 litres


3 carrots


2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley


salt and pepper


small cabbage (optional)


Scotch Broth Soup Cooking Directions:





1. Pre soak the barley and split peas





2. Chop all the vegetables 3. Melt a wee bit of lard/cooking oil and add the chopped onion. Once softened add the water and meat (you can just add stock rather than boil meat) and boil, skimming off any fatty deposits from the top.





4. After boiling for about half an hour add the barley and peas and simmer for another 30 minutes.





5. Add the remaining vegetables.





6. If used, remove the bone and strip off the meat and return this to the pot.





7. Give the dog the bone once it's cooled!





8. Add parsley before serving. Great with warmed bread rolls.





9. If making a big pot full it'll keep out provided you boil and stir each day. Though to be safe it would probably best be kept in the fridge or individual portions could be freezed and used as needed.Any good soup recipes with lamb broth?
