Home-Style Chicken and Ham Soup

This is a simple little Campbell Soup recipe I cut out of a magazine about 25 or 30 years ago. Sometimes I leave the green beans out since it only calls for a cup and sometimes I will put a whole can in. You can also double this recipe very easily. I've always loved the simplicity of this recipe, but I cut the amount of thyme down, seems to overpower the flavor too much.
