I literally threw this together just before leaving to get my babies from daycare and it was ready when we got home. I didn't add any salt and used the low sodium broth - I think it would have been too salty otherwise. My family went back for thirds!!! Definitely put all the ham you are going to use in from the beginning, it gets nice and moist. I also added two cloves of garlic and one bay leaf. I have saved it and will use it again.

Great recipe. I picked it because I had all the ingredients in my fridge...including a hamhock from Christmas (which was too big to fit completely in the soup!. I had to use half chicken stock, and half water with a chicken bouilin. It made the soup a little too salty, but still delicious. I ended up blending all of the soup, because I prefer it that way. Does anyone have any advice on using a hamhock twice? I wasn't able to submerge mine fully in the soup, nor did I use all of the meat. I'm hoping to use it to make another batch. Any suggestions?

There are 6 people we have to feed everyday and cost does not alway equal flavor. This is one of the best low cost meals we make. On weekends, the kids love to help me in the kitchen and soup is always on the menu. This recipe is quick, fun, and tasts great.

I had to add thyme, and bay leafs. I blended 1/2 of the soup to make it creamier and added a cubed up ham steak after I took out the ham hocks, there isn't enough meat on them to make it worth dealing with them, but I cut them up anyway as treats for my dog, he loves me :

After all is said and done it was Perfect. so I tweaked it, but the foundation was good enough to make a Great soup.

It may be a function of the hocks I used, but there wasn't as much ham flavor as I would have liked. Like someone mentioned , I used an immersion blender to smooth the soup, but that's more of a preference. I'd definitely recommend this recipe.

I just whipped this soup up for lunch today. It didn't occur to me until after I was halfway through the bowl that I hadn't added any salt. I used reduced sodium chicken broth and between that and the smoked ham hock I felt the soup was salty enough, if not bordering on too salty.

Absolutely delicious and definitely one I'll keep in the freezer for those quick lunches or suppers.

Definitely use low sodium chicken stock! I used regular chicken stocken and between that and the ham hock, the end result was too salty for me. However, I will try recipe again.
