I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham hock next time.

I was surprised at how much I liked this soup. I'm not usually a fan of pea soup, but this one was really good. The ham hock added a lot of flavor.
