Green Pea and Ham Soup

I really love this soup--and I love the ham stock. I also love that there is enough ham stock left over to freeze and save for another batch of soup. I don't add the meat from the ham hock to the final soup--to me, that meat has already given its all to the stock and adds nothing but an unnecessary additional texture. I also find the addition of drizzled oil at service to be unnecessary. It's a very rich and satisfying soup, as well as being quite remarkably green.
