Add all the ingredients to your soup maker and set off on chunky.
The end result may be a little thin. You can make it thicker by either adding in some flour & butter (as a roux) or do as I did and do a few very short blends manually via the soup maker functions. Make sure you don't blend for too long (a few seconds max each time) or you'll blend it smooth and not have any chunky bits left. This method is a really quick and easy way to thicken up a chunky soup.
Notes
I used some leftover gammon from a previous meal - if you usually add extra salt to your soup taste test this one first as some gammon can be quite salty already.
