Ingredients

For the Soup Base:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup diced ham (preferably smoked or honey-glazed)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Toppings:

  • Croutons
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • A sprinkle of smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic. Sautรฉ until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

2. Thicken the Soup

  1. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  2. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Add Creaminess

  1. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and milk.
  2. Add thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.

4. Incorporate the Chicken and Ham

  1. Add the shredded chicken and diced ham to the soup. Simmer for another 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5. Melt the Cheese

  1. Gradually stir in the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses until fully melted and the soup is smooth.
  2. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

6. Serve and Garnish

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls.
  2. Top with croutons, chopped parsley, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for added flair.

Tips for Perfection

  • For extra indulgence, use Gruyรจre cheese instead of Swiss for a richer flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the soup during Step 3.
  • Serve with crusty bread or garlic bread for the ultimate comfort meal.

This Creamy Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup Delight is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the cozy warmth of this luxurious soup—perfect for dinner parties or a relaxing night in! ๐Ÿฅฃ๐Ÿ—✨
