Excellent thick soup for a winter's night, and there's no need for salad. Serve with corn sticks or Mexican cornbread. Very filling, very delicious.

yes, a perfect winter meal. So simple to put together. I used a "shank" my sister brought home from the store. I cut off the skin and tossed it in the pot. There was a lot of meat on the bone which added too much salt. So now I know. I never cooked a "shank" before. I might cook a pot of straight lentils and add it to the leftover soup when I take a second bowl. Served with a California Cabernet that barely stood up to the ham but it helped!

Lovely flavor thanks!

Very nice! The majority of effort that goes into this recipe is simply chopping. The soup was very flavorful. I'm a vegan, so I omitted the meat and used smart balance instead of butter. I'd definitely make it again.
