Hearty Winter Soup with Ham Hock

1. Prepare the bacon/ham hock by removing the rind and as much fat as possible
using a sharp knife.

the MAX. mark on the inside of the pot and stir well.

. Start cooking under the “Normal Pressure Cooking”
mode with the cooking time changed to 80 minutes (see chapter “Using the
cooking modes”).
5. When cooking is done, leave the pressure cooker to release the pressure naturally
before opening the lid. This should take about 15 minutes.

soup and give them a stir.

• Any leftovers can be frozen in soup pouches and kept for 3 months.
