Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

8 cups hot water
4 smoked ham hocks (2 1/2-pounds)
1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained
3 large carrots, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch dice
2 bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
3 medium (6-ounce) red-skinned potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

In a slow cooker, combine the water, ham hocks, chickpeas, carrots, bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes, cover and cook on low for 1 hour and 45 minutes, until the chickpeas, ham hocks and potatoes are tender. Transfer the ham hocks to a large plate. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. When the hocks are cool enough to handle, remove the meat and coarsely chop it. Return the ham to the soup. Using a paring knife, cut the carrots in the cooker into bite-size pieces. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and mash to a puree. Stir the mashed potatoes into the soup along with the parsley. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
