Had a big ham hock I had left over from the 35 lb hamzilla I made for Christmas. Also had a big bone from the ham (Had 2 but gave one to the daughter's dog for Christmas dinner.)
I was going to smoke the hock low and slow but then I remembered that I never have made homemade soup. So I looked up a bunch of recipes. Most were for ham and bean soup, some were for vegetable type soup. So I decided to take a little bit from each recipe.
So here are the guys I chose (marshmallows and banana's in the upper right are just photo-bombing the picture and aren't part of the team.)
Meant to include celery but I forgot to buy it at the store and I am too lazy to go back.

Put some oil in the pot, added the hock and the bone, after that I chopped the garlic, onion, green onion, and carrots and threw them in. Let them all brown for a while and then added enough chicken broth to cover the hock and bone.
Now it is simmering for a few hours and then I will add the rest of the players.

With a few green beans mixed in..." Hey look!...Teddy knows Morse Code...! ::) ??? ;D"

Hey - leave Teddy alone. He has been there for all the Christmas parties and never once lost his cookies.

UPDATE
Took the hock and the bone out and took the meat off them.

Found a couple more ingredients in the fridge.

Threw the meat, mushrooms and the rest of the players into the pot. I'll make a cheese type sauce with some milk and add at the end.

Letting it all simmer for an hour or so. More to come----

Last update:
Added a cup of milk and 8 oz of chipolte gouda. Put them in the microwave and melted them.

Put the cheese sauce in the pot and let it simmer for a while.
All done, scooped out a bowl. Not sure if the picture is that great but the soup sure is. I think it is a winner. I think it is because no one ingredient dominates. You can taste just about each ingredient.

Well tomorrow I try my first try at homemade pasta.

Wow fantastic looking soup ;D
Can't wait for your post on homemade pasta ::)

Great looking soup Gus. I make soups all winter.
I made fresh pasta yesterday with my pasta press for my KitchenAid. It was small macaronis and bucatini, long macaronis. Nothing like fresh pasta. Made mac & cheese with the macaroni. Still working on the dough recipe, gotta make it thinner for the press and thicker for the pasta attachments go figure. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
