For the stock:
- 600 grams ham hock smoked and cured
- 2 litres cold water
- 1 leek white part only
- ½ brown onion
- 2 carrots chopped into even chunks
- ½ celery stalk only
- a bouquet garni made up of 2 bay leaves 5-6 peppercorns, 4 sprigs fresh thyme, 4 stalks parsley
For the soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 500 grams peas frozen

Instructions
- Place the ham hock along with the water, vegetables and bouquet garni in a tall, stock pot. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
- Cook for approx 2-2.5 hours until the ham hocks are soft and nearly falling off the bone.
