I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and it turned out great.

I'm not a fan of celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon. I also like to add a handful of shredded cheddar cheese at the end for extra flavor.
