Slow cooker ham hock minestrone

Serves 6 Prep 15 mins (+ 10 mins cooling time) Cooking 4 hours 35 mins

1 tbs olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
1 leek, pale section only, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 zucchini, finely chopped
1 large (about 1kg) ham hock
2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
4 cups (1L) reduced-salt chicken stock
½ cup (110g) dried soup mix
½ cup (90g) macaroni
Basil pesto, to serve

1 Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, leek and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add zucchini, ham hock, tomato, stock and soup mix. Cover and cook for 4 hours on high (or 6 hours on low) or until ham is falling off the bone and soup mix is tender.
2 Use tongs to transfer the ham hock to a heatproof bowl. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly.
3 Use 2 forks to shred the ham, discarding the bone and rind. Return the ham to the soup. Season.
4 Add the pasta to the soup mixture. Cover and cook on high for 30 mins or until al dente. Divide the soup among serving bowls. Top with the pesto.
