• Return the meat to the soup.
• Throw out the bones, gristle and skin from the ham hocks.
• If you've put the hocks in cheesecloth, it helps to keep the little bones that can resemble beans from making their way into the soup as the hocks tend to disintegrate during cooking.
• If the soup has cooled considerably, get the heat back up and serve.
