Notes

* Slow Cooker Method: place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Remove ham hock from slow cooker. Discard skin, bones and excess fat. Chop up ham and place back in Slow Cooker. Mix to combine.
** Stove Top Method: Heat a large soup pot over high heat and add ham hock, peas, and water/broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer (low), cover, and cook, for 60 minutes. Add olive oil, carrots, celery, and onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer (low), cover, and cook, stirring occasionally for 60-90 minutes or until peas are soft.
*** Soup will thicken as it cools.
