I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place garlic, onion & leek into TM bowl and chop for 5 seconds, speed 7. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add oil and saute for 5 minutes, varoma temp, speed 1.
Add carrots, celery & potato and chop for 5 seconds, speed 7. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add stock paste, peas & pepper to the bowl. Add water slowly to Max fill line (doesn't matter if a bit less than 1,000g).
Place ham hock in varoma basket and place on top of Thermie.
Cook for 60 minutes, varoma temp, speed 1.
Check soup and add more water if looking too thick - depends on personal preference.
Turn hock over, in varoma basket, and cook soup for another 15 mins at Varoma temp on speed 1.
Once soup cooked, remove Varoma basket and put MC back in lid. Slowly turn dial up to speed 9 and blend for about 40 seconds.
Remove meat from hock bone and chop into smallish pieces. Add chopped meat into soup and mix on reverse, speed 5 for about 20 seconds.
Serve with home made bread rolls for an extra special meal!
Method
Tip
My original recipe cooks the hock in the simmering basket but I find it very fiddly.
I've fnally changed it up a bit so that you can cook the hock in the varoma basket and still have as much flavour!

This is a regular in our home - it's so tasty and tummy filling. I don't make any variations, it's perfect as is. Thank you!
First time making pea and ham soup and this was amazing and so easy to make 😁
Great tasting soup. It made a thick and filling soup in a TM6. I filled the water to the max line which was 60ml extra. I added a teaspoon of veggie stock to adjust at the end. When adding the hock, no further salt was needed. My son doesn't like peas, he was told it is ham soup. He enjoyed it, none the wiser he was eating peas. This one will be made again.
Made this tonight, usually make in pressure cooker, but tried in thermie really worth making this recipe, nice and tasty 😋
Great flavour and perfectly cooked. Hit with the family and will be a regular winter dinner. I did leave out the garlic and leek due to personal taste.
Love this recipe!
Great flavours - always a hit in our house. Thanks Sharon for posting this.
Love this! I have made this a few times and I prefer when I don't blend it up very much. Yum!
Delicious! Will definitely make again.
Seriously good!
I used the variation today, and AMAZING! Hock was succulent and tender, soup was thick (I used exactly 1lt) which is how I like my soup. Great flavours!
