Dear Folks, Did I enjoy my homemade soup for lunch today?? WOW did I ever! I guess the smoked pork hocks were worth the price after all. When I took the soup out of the refrigerator, the entire container of soup was encased in a jell from the long cooking of the bones. I knew that was adding nutrients to the soup. The soup was delicious and I can't wait for tomorrow's second helping of soup for lunch. vee
