For a vegetarian option, omit the ham hock and use vegetable broth instead of water. Consider adding smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. If you don't have a pressure cooker, this soup can be made in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together even more. Serve with a crusty bread for dipping, or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for added richness.
