For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and omit the ham. Consider adding mushrooms for an earthy flavor. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Watch them carefully to prevent burning. If the soup becomes too thick, add a little more chicken broth or half-and-half to reach your desired consistency.
