3 1/3 lb ham hock
4 cups chicken stock
1 None large onion, quartered
2 stalks celery
2 cloves garlic, peeled
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 None bay leaves
2 1/4 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeds scraped out, chopped
3 None large sweet potato, peeled, chopped
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained
1 pinch chili flakes
8 slices prosciutto
3/4 cup creme fraiche (or 1 cup heavy cream)
10 g chopped fresh chives or parsley
None None garlic bread or pita, to serve (optional)

1
Place ham hock in a large saucepan along with stock, 3 cups water, onion, celery, garlic and herbs. Cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, or until meat is very tender and falling off the bone. Remove ham and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, pull meat into large chunks and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, strain stock into a clean saucepan, discarding veggies and herbs. Add squash, sweet potato, chickpeas and chili. Cover and simmer for 15 mins, or until veggies are tender. Let cool slightly then use a stick blender to process until very smooth.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange prosciutto on tray and bake for 10-15 mins, until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4
Add ham and creme fraiche to soup and heat through. Season. Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with a swirl of cream, prosciutto and a sprinkling of chives or parsley. Serve with garlic bread or pita, if desired.
