  I didn't expect much from this soup but it was filling and tasty. A quick and easy favourite.

  What a great soup! The smoky flavour of the paprika perfectly complemented the pork. It was filling, delicious and perfect for winter. It takes a bit long, so I recomend making it on the weekend. I started making it on a Monday evening and just finised it off on the Tuesday. Wasn't sure what winter greens were, so just used baby spinach which was great.

  Like Sandy I used Sweet Potatoes instead and it still works. Be very generous with the Paprika. I was a little worried as I've never cooked a Gammon this way and was alarmed when it reminded me of dog food but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out great. A very good recipe.

  Proteaodorata. Put your Gammon in a large saucepan or pot, gently wash it under cold water and then fill the pot with cold water making sure that the Gammon is covered, leave overnight in the fridge, then change the water again in the morning using the same method. I soak Gammon like this for 24 hours to take the salt out of it, so I did my Gammon late Friday night, changed the water in the morning and again left it in the fridge until Saturday night then made the recipe and cooked it in a slow cooker on high until Sunday morning, it was beautifully cooked, then I followed the above recipe but added a few carrots and celery, I took out most of the meat and reserved it as we like big chunks of meat ! I cooked some new potatoes separately and added them 10 mins before the end. Hope this helps ? Baskerville.
