Notes
- The amount of liquid added to the soup depends entirely on how thick you like it. Use less chicken broth for a thicker soup, or add more if you like it quite thin, there is no right or wrong here.
- If you use the leftover ham straight from the fridge, you can quickly warm the chopped ham in a frying pan for a few minutes before adding them to the soup, or you can just mix the ham cubes with the soup to heat them up.
