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 water, stock paste, peas & pepper to the bowl.
Place ham hock in TM basket. You may need to cut pieces off around the bone so you can position in a way that the whole hock fits in the basket!
Lower basket into TM bowl slowly! Check the fluid level to ensure it hasn't gone over the maximum line on the inside of your bowl. When you close the lid, make sure there is enough room near the hole for steam to escape during cooking!! This is very important. If the hole in the lid becomes blocked, it will create a pressure situation which can be VERY dangerous!
Cook for 60 minutes, 100degC, speed 1, with the MC out of lid.
Remove meat from basket, before draining soup back into bowl & removing basket completely.
Cook soup for another 15 mins at 100degC on speed 1.
While soup is cooking, remove meat from hock and chop into small pieces.
Once soup cooked, slowly turn dial up to speed 9 and blend for about 40 seconds.
Add chopped meat back to soup and mix on reverse, speed 5 for about 20 seconds.
Serve with home made bread rolls!
Method
Tip
PLEASE NOTE - I've left this recipe here as a lot of people seem to enjoy it which is fantastic! However, I have created a variant which is slightly different and allows the hock to be cooked in the varoma basket.
I personally prefer to use the varoma now as it's less fiddly, I can use a slightly larger hock and I don't have to worry about the hole in the lid being blocked which has the potential to create a VERY dangerous situation!

CarolynB: How do you do the hock on the stove? In water?
Great Recipe
I cook a large hock separately on the stovetop until soft, then add chunky shreds of meat at end of thermo recipe. Delicious.
Made this with ham leftover from Christmas. It makes the kitchen smell amazing
I love this recipe I cook it most winters!
Love this soup, I couldn't find a ham hock small enough, so I bought a small ham, cut it in to thick slices and put that in the steamer basket. The resulting soup had a lot more ham in it, but was really really good!
SharonW: Hi Sharon. Where can I find the variation of this recipe please?
Delicious! Thanks for sharing. The perfect winter warmer 👌🏻

Made this for the family tonight, was a hit. Next time I would use a piece of speck or ham as we didn't enjoy the meat off the hock bone. Thank you for sharing this recipe
Delicious, loved it
