  1. The day before serving, place the ham hock and water in a large soup kettle. Bring to a boil and then simmer till meat is very tender (2 1/2 hrs). Cold and skim off fat. Remove meat and add in to liquid the remaining ingredients except meat and chicken broth. Dice meat and return to kettle. Simmer 3 hrs. If soup is too thick, chicken broth can be added.
