Instructions
In a roasting pan coat the ham hock with 1/4 cup olive oil and roast at 350 degrees for 70-80 minutes. In the mean time in a large pot add remaining olive oil and heat. Add in garlic, chopped carrots, celery, and onions and caramelize. Deglaze with 1 cup of chardonnay and reduce till almost gone. Next add in stock, chopped ham, and herbs. At this time the ham hock should be just about done roasting. Place pan on burner and reduce with remaining chardonnay. Add ham hock and juices to soup and let cook on medium heat for 1-2 hours. Serve warm (with cornbread optional). Enjoy!
