A Scottish soup made with chicken, leeks, and sometimes barley or prunes.
From 'cock' (rooster) combined with 'leek' (a vegetable related to onions), with a Scottish diminutive or descriptive suffix. The dish has been documented in Scottish cuisine since at least the 17th century.
This is one of the few 'cock-' words that survived into modern times because it's attached to actual food! Languages preserve words when they're useful and delicious—cockaleekie appears in Scottish texts for centuries because people kept making and eating it.
