Butter in the pan with a dash of oil
Onion ready to cube
Garlic Granules (cheaper then the fresh ones)
Add some salt...
...and pepper
Grate the carrot in and I've had some frozen celery lingering in the freezer that I used
I love Pams! Good cheap soup mix
Pour in to the mix with some water added
Add in you bacon hock
Cube up your potatoes and add to the pot
Dice up some vege
I like using chicken stock...
...and beef stock coz' that's how I roll...
Add more water and let it simmer away for a while
Mmm soupy goodness
The skin will start to come away after awhile, then you know its time to take the bone out
Cut the meat off and in to pieces.. chuck back into the pot
Strip that baby bare!
Stir altogether
This process takes a couple of hours
Serve with some bread the next day...
It always tastes nicer the next day.
Hope that was helpful! Yummo!B-B
Nice soup...Its the kind I like to make too....almost the same recipe ;)
ReplyDeleteYUM I am so making that!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm! I usually make vegetable or pumpkin but have never made my own bacon hock. Must do - thanks for the pics (and cute salt holder too).
ReplyDeleteI've never made vege soup with meat...the meat part freaks me out that it would go too tough or something..Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWas that bacon hock pre cooked or did you buy it that way?
Hi Widge, the bacon hock is pre-cooked (smoked?/cured?). The meat doesn't go tough it comes off the bone easily enough and if I make too much I freeze single portions in freezer bags to reheat for another day.
