that sounds lovelytoday's was a bit of a treat really- boiled a smoked ham, which always makes for a better soup, although there is an ongoing debate as to whether ham cures should be selected for the best soup results or best ham results. My vote goes to smoked, although I'm tempted by a beer and honey cured ham I saw the other day which might make a slightly odd soup stock but would certainly be a fantastic ham. Ohhh, it's such a hard life with all these high-powered meat decisions.
