A beautiful full flavoured slow cooked soup
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- Approx 1kg Ham Hock fat trimmed off.
- Approx 1.25kg pumpkin
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 2 medium potatoes finely chopped
- 2 sml parsnips finely chopped
- 1 leek diced
- 4 sml bay leaves
- 2-3 cloves crushed garlic
- Tbsp herb and garlic seasoning
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 1-2 tbsp curry powder.
- Pepper to taste
- 3ltrs chicken stock
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- 8 splashes tobasco sauce
- 2 tbsp gravy flour
- 250 ml cream
Instructions
- Place all of the above ingredients except for cream n gravy flour into slow cooker on high for 6-7 hrs.
- After this time add cream and gravy flour, remove ham hock and shred meat the bone n remove any excess fat n grissel. Then put back into SC.
- I left on high for approx a further 1hr so soup thickens up.
- Depending on how thick you like ur soups you may want to use less liquid and add more gravy flour at the end.
- Serve and enjoy with your favourite bread.
- ENJOY. ?
Notes
- You may put more or less of the herbs n spices, depending on what flavour u want, but this is how I made it.
- I used a 5.5lt slow cooker, u will need to use less ingredients if u have a smaller one n more if u wish in a bigger one.

A delicious soup recipe indeed .. I did cook the pumpkin seperate in the oven and added it in at the halfway mark and also added an extra Ham Hock for that extra meatyness ?
