- 1 smoked pork hock** or ham bones with some meat on them
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a pot.
- Simmer in a crockpot for 8 hours on low OR bring to boil in a large pot and then simmer for a few hours. You want the peas to break down into mush and the soup to be THICK THICK THICK!

- If using a full smoked pork hock, when the soup is almost done, remove from the pot, cut and cube any meat, place meat and the bone back into the pot.
