  • 1/4 cup of chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1 cup of chopped ham
  • 1 medium ham hock
  • 1 quart of chicken stock or broth

Add the bacon to a Dutch oven or large heavy pot and cook until fat is rendered. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook about 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and ham.
