Galician Soup ( Caldo Gallego )

Submitted by erotter

"This recipe is simplified from my family’s original recipe from Galicia Spain, which was made with ham hocks and salted pork But everything you need to give it a great flavor are in these ingredients and still comes out it delicious. This recipe was for my family's Sunday dinners so it is a slow simmer type of meal."

This is probably one of the best soups I've ever eaten. It was a massive hit in my house. The leftovers were even better the next day. I seriously can't recommend this recipe enough. So flavorful!
