The only ingredient I did not use was the celery and the only dried beans I were berloti which I soaked up over night and my plan was to cook the soup in the crock pot so my 1.1 kilogram ham hock went into the crock pot and topped with the drained beans and I cooked of the onion and spices and put them in the crock pot and then added 5 cups of chicken stock and 5 cups of water and turned on the crock pot and 4 hours later there is a lot of swearing because I forgot to turn it on at the power point so the plan was to turn it on and let it cook for 4 hours and then turn it off and give it another 4 hours to the next morning but I discovered 13 hours after I started the cook it was still on and I had forgot to turn it off. Ended up putting the soup in 2 cup containers (I got 5 filled containers and put 4 in the freezer and the 5th I had for lunch and it was delicious), thank you Kittencal made for Alphabet Tag Game at FF&F.
