Smoked ham hock broth
Broths
I have taken to having ham hock broth ready for my Warm Weather Pea and Ham Soup in my freezer alongside chicken and duck broths and pho beef broth. Following the recent good influence of boulangere I am regularly making my own vegetable broth from vegetable scraps gathered during a week or so of cooking in my kitchen. I love pea and ham soup but am not as fond of the heavy one-stop pea and ham soup method of yesteryear. The wonderful Simon Hopkinson's idea of cooking the ham hock broth separately appealed to me because I could stage the preparation plus I could produce a lighter version of my beloved pea and ham soup. I have subsequently gone to a different method and totally different desired end result for my light pea and ham soup.
