Weed Soup (Summer Borscht) (Elsie)

I found this recipe scribbled on a piece of paper, ingredients only. I'm sure it came from Mom.
I'm creating the method and if anyone knows more about this recipe please let me know.

Cook a ham hock in water. Remove ham hock when done and cut into pieces. Strain water through sieve into a fresh pot. Add  the ham, and potatoes. Did Mom put onion in it as well? I think I would add some chopped onion. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are almost done. Add dill, parsley, beet tops, sorrel leaves, bay leaf,and salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, add some sweet cream and or sour cream.

I need some feedback on this.
