This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it for dinner during the week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth and omitted the ham. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added a cup of cooked rice to the soup, and it was delicious.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chipotle peppers. The soup was still flavorful without them.

I didn't have any vegetable broth, so I used chicken broth instead. The soup still turned out delicious.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted tomato paste for the diced tomatoes. The soup turned out great!
