I made this soup using some small,fresh broad beans from our garden along with a small freshly cut cabbage. Thus there was no need to skin the beans. My wife and myself thought that it was a more flavoursome soup than it initially appeared, though next time I shall add a finely diced chilli to add a little more zip to the overall taste. All in all, a very good recipe that we shall definitely make again.

This recipe was easy to follow, cooked up really quickly and was totally satisfying. I substituted the ham hock with some chopped up left over roast pork from Sunday's dinner and loved it so much I will make it again with the ham hock. Served with Waitrose LOVE Life white oaten rolls...the perfect combination for a chilly summer evening.
