For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock. If you don't have leftover ham, smoked ham hock or bacon can be used instead. Adjust seasoning to taste, and feel free to add other vegetables such as potatoes or spinach. A bay leaf added during simmering will also enhance the depth of flavor.
