Ingredients

  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 3 small ham hocks
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1
Pour chicken stock into a large pot. Add ham hocks, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, black pepper, and enough water to cover ham hocks. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 2 hours to create broth.
