    Pomai:
    I thank you for this. When I got my first civilian job here in Hawaii at Kaiser Permanente, the computer services department planned for Jook the Monday after Thanksgiving. We were all tasked with an ingredient. I was assigned dried orange peel, which I found at Times Beretania (had or still has a pretty good ethnic food section). They set up a crock pot with all the ingredients in the morning and by lunchtime we were all ready. It was wonderful. I think this is a meal that tastes best when enjoyed with many others.

    I plan on printing out your recipe and saving it for this fall.

    Mahalo, Pomai!

      Kahalu'u_Chrome: One story about my "oyoso" cooking method I have a non-local friend who cooks a lot. She cooks dishes that use rice so I figured she knew how rice expands when tossed into things like soup. I made jook and she asked for the recipe. I told her ~ boil turkey bones, etc. etc. and then throw in some washed, uncooked rice. I figured she would know about how much. hee! It came out like rice pilaf but thicker. She cut the batch in half and froze the half, poured in more water and it thickened up again. She cut that batch in half and froze half, etc. It became our joke. The neverending pot of jook. She was giving it away to anyone who would take a chunk and still had some frozen in her freezer.

          Let me know how your Soup came out.

          I made it today!! FANTASTIC!!

          I used the Redondo's sausage, mild. I cut down a bit on the cilantro because I'm not a big fan of cilantro.

          Couldn't get ham hocks but I remembered Kahalu'u Chrome's suggestion about the ham shanks and was able to get them. Lotsa nice meat on those shanks, too.

          Thanks for the recipe, Auntie! It's definitely a keeper!

            I can't imagine PBS tasting authentic without smoked ham hocks. Surely it'll taste great, but not the same. But then again, I'm just nitpicking.

            Heck, as long as you have a nice and hearty slice of bread with thick spread of butter or margarine to go with it, it's ALL GOOD!

            RN, I bet your ohana is very happy to help you finish the pot!

              I just saved both of these recipes. I usually make a small batch of Jook for New Year's eve/day so will have to wait for that one. But, the PBS will be made soon! I love to eat soup & Foodland makes those really good La Brea baguettes that will be very good with it, of course with lots of butter!

              I can almost taste it now...................

                It's only me and my husband. He doesn't touch any food containing tomato products. Actually, he is very much an Irish meat-and-potato person, and I am very much not. Well, maybe ethnically, but not gastronomically.

                I am going to freeze the soup in small batches. I do this with a lot of things I make---I have a problem making small pots of anything, from spaghetti sauce to stews. I think I was a mess hall cook in a former life. So I just freeze the food in meal-size containers and have a big selection of little treasures for the future.

                The ham shanks were smoked, BTW. IMHO, they tasted pretty much the same as smoked hocks, which I often use for my pea soup---maybe a bit more meat on them, too. And I got the bread and butter----all good!

                  Re: HT Recipes: Soup

                  I just realized you used the word "authentic," Pomai.

                  Of course I wouldn't know what "authentic" tastes like, as far as Portuguese Bean Soup goes.

                  But I do recognize "delicious" when I taste it

                  This is good stuff. I am pigging out, even as we speak.

                    Smoked Ham Hocks or Smoked Ham Shanks makes an authentic Port. Bean Soup!

                      Thanks Auntie Lynn. I have used a variation of your recipe two times and two times good. I started up the recipe not realizing I was missing ingredients. So I had to make do with what I could find.

                      I kept forgetting to come on and thank you for your post!

                          Sounds onolicious, Auntie L. My best soup recipe usually involves a can opener and a microwave

                          We're going to Foodland right now, and I just came back here to reread this thread and write out the ingredients for your podagee bean soup. We're going to make some tonight for my ohana's usual Sunday potluck. I don't know what "ham hocks" are though. Either does my wife. Maybe someone at the grocery store will know.

                          I can't wait to take all the credit for your recipe when everyone asks where we learned to make this. Nah, jus joke. We'll give you all da credit

                                Oxtail Soup

                                Parboil oxtails, clean and cut off fat. Put in large pot with lots of water, sliced ginger, raw peanuts, dried dates, star anise, 1 stalk celery and 1/2 onion. May add dash sake, hondashi. Some people add a can of beef broth. Cook until meat falls off the bone, take out celery, onion and anise. Actually, I use a crockpot and let it cook overnight.

                                Ladle into bowl and top with cilantro, green onions, water chestnuts, baby corn, whatever. Serve with grated ginger and shoyu for dipping.
