Ingredients:
- 2 smoked ham houghs (or hocks) - in scotland we pronounce it 'hochhhhs' (using a very guttural germanic sound). i use simon howie houghs which are very smoky indeed.
- a couple of ham stock cubes. i use knorr's
Directions:
- In a large pot, put in the ham houghs and cover them with water - about 5-6 pints.
- Add the bay leaf, peppercorns, and stock cubes.
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Remove any scum which forms on the surface.
- Remove the ham houghs. When cool, remove the skin, gristle and fat, take the meat off the bones and chop it into soup-size pieces.
- Take out the peppercorns and bay leaf.
- Refrigerate the stock overnight.
- Remove the layer of fat which will have formed on the surface.
- Filter the stock through a piece of muslin in a large sieve.
- When ready to make the soup:
- In a large pan, heat the oil.
- Add the chopped bacon and fry until brown.
- Stir in the carrots, onions and celery. Stir around and then cover, and cook on a low heat for 30 minutes. Stir now and then.
- Stir in the Puy lentils, tomatoes and the garlic. Stir well.
- Pour in 4 pints of ham stock.
- Bring to the boil then cook at a simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, the chopped meat from the houghs and the red lentils.
- Bring to the boil again and then simmer for another 30 minutes.
- 10 minutes before the end of the time, stir in the parsley.
- Add more stock if the soup is getting too thick.
- For extra richness - as if it needed it - you can add some tomato puree.
