Total Time:

Ingredients:
  • 2 leeks, pale section only, thickly sliced
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 160g cabbage
  • 1 large (about 1kg) Smoked Meaty Pork Leg Hock
  • 3 Red Royale potatoes, peeled, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1l chicken stock
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 60ml thickened cream
Instructions:
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, sauté leek, onion, and garlic in half of the oil for 4 minutes until the onion softens. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, then add cabbage, pork hock, potato, bay leaves, and stock. Cook covered on high for 3 hours (or on low for 5 hours) until the potato and pork are tender. Finally, turn off the slow cooker and enjoy.
  • Place the pork hock in a heatproof bowl. Allow it to cool for a moment. Using two forks, shred the meat, removing the bone and rind. In a non-stick frying pan over high heat, heat the remaining oil. Cook the pork in two batches, stirring occasionally, until crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Fish out and discard the bay leaves from the soup. Use a stick blender to blend soup until smooth. Divide into serving bowls and season. Top with pork and spring onion, then drizzle with cream.
