Recipe View Carefully transfer the ham hocks to a cutting board. Once they are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded ham to the pot and warm through over medium heat, about 3 minutes.

For a vegetarian version, omit the ham hocks and use smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor.
Add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end to brighten the flavors.
If you don't have potato flakes, a small, peeled and diced potato can be added along with the carrots and celery.
