Tips:

  • To make the soup more flavorful, use a combination of smoked ham hocks and ham steaks. The smokiness of the ham hocks will add a delicious depth of flavor to the soup.
  • If you don't have any ham hocks, you can use all ham steaks. Just be sure to add a little bit of extra salt to the soup to make up for the missing flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve the soup with a side of cornbread or a crusty loaf of bread. This will help to soak up all of the delicious broth.
