Split Pea & Pork Hock Soup

Split pea soup is a wonderful, warm hug on these cold, damp winter days.

Pork hocks, are full of flavour, and the meat is moist and tender when braised in this soup,

Directions: Saute the finely diced vegetables in butter over medium heat until softened. Stud the pork hock with the cloves. Add the chicken stock, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook until pork hock is cooked through, when the meat pulls easily from the bone, about 1½ hours. Remove the pork from the soup, pick and shred the meat, discarding the cloves, bones, and cartilage. Return the meat to the soup and season with salt and pepper.
