Mum's Ham Hock Soup


Mum delivered this soup on the weekend while I was in 'quarantine'.

The soup was simple but tasty and comforting.  Perfectly cooked chunks of potato and carrot, paired with melt-in-your-mouth ham and spinach.

Seeing the small rings of pasta caused my spirits to lift.  The pasta helped the soup look more pleasing to the eye and it also helped lighten the soup, instead of having that stodgy carbohydrate feel.  Funny how something so subtle can make such a difference.  

I think I will be keeping that in mind next time I serve soup with pasta.  Thanks Mum! : )
