Add heavy cream to give the soup a more velvety texture if you like. If you prefer a lighter soup you can swap heavy cream for half and half, or leave the cream out altogether and add a little more chicken stock. The soup will still taste fantastic.
This is based on an old fashioned ham and rice soup recipe. I've opted to use brown rice as it has great texture and doesn't break down quite so much as white rice. You can also use wild rice, just ensure you adjust the cooking time to suit the rice used.
Nothing goes to waste in my kitchen and this ham soup is a great way to use up holiday ham or leftover ham from the weekend's roast.
