Cawl is a traditional Welsh soup or stew, typically made with meat and vegetables. It is often prepared with ingredients like lamb or beef, along with root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and leeks. Cawl is usually slow-cooked, allowing the flavors to meld together, and is often served with crusty bread. This dish is especially popular during the colder months and is often associated with St. David's Day, a celebration of Wales' patron saint. Cawl can vary in recipe and ingredients depending on the region and personal preferences, making it a versatile and beloved comfort food in Welsh cuisine.
