It's been cold all weekend here in Atlanta. It was even spitting a little snow earlier. Cold days are the best days to make a really comforting kind of soup. I've never made this soup before today but I did use to eat it all the time in Amsterdam. Mine turned out fantastic! I know it's kind-of green and the carrots are showing, but the taste is phenomenal. The smokiness from those ham hocks really makes this soup. Some people like to puree their finished product but I liked mine a little chunky! And yes, I made my own croutons!
