This soup is delicious and easy to make. I like to add a little bit of chopped bacon to it for extra flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great soup for a cold winter day. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick. It's also great for freezing, so I always have some on hand for a quick and easy meal.
