Scotch broth is a soup traditionally made with meat, barley and vegetables. The figures here describe a homemade recipe, rather than a canned or ready-made version. Per 100g, it provides 6.8g of protein, 3.5g of fat and 4g of carbohydrate, with an energy content of 310 kJ.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The broth also contains saturated fat, which is worth noting for people monitoring their saturated fat intake. Salt content can vary with the ingredients used, particularly stock and added seasoning, so other homemade recipes may differ. Full nutrient figures for this recipe are in the tables below.
