Preparation

Step 1

Add ingredients to slow cooker and cook on high 4-6 hours,
or cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Remove ham hocks and mash soup with a fork or an immersion blender,
depending on your consistence preference. I like mine smooth.

Optional step: brown diced ham in a skillet and serve on soup.
