Pot is simmering now. Added 2 bay leaves and 2 cloves of garlic so if the soup doesn't turn out, it's my fault. Took 12 cups to cover the ingredients and the ham hocks were straight from the freezer so the soup will probably be simmering a little longer.

It would be nice if you told everyone to use a dutch oven or stock pot and the heat setting for the saute, just to cover all bases.

A very good recipe. I'm not all that excited about all the fat on the hocks, but then again I don't have to eat that part.
