For a vegetarian version, omit the ham hock and bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Consider adding a smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor.
Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. Some prefer a thicker soup, while others like it more brothy.
Snert is traditionally served with rye bread and mustard.

    I made this on a cold winter day, and it was exactly what we needed. So comforting and delicious. I added a bay leaf for extra flavor.
