I would cook it for roughly 35 - 40 minutes per pound. I think I would cover it with water and bring it to the boil and then tip away the water and do that again just in case it's a little bit salty. Then I would add an onion, carrot, bouquet garni and bay leaves to make a stock before following the recipe for the soup. You could use the meat to add to a quiche or Spanish Omelette.
