Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • You can use leftover holiday ham for this comforting soup!
  • It's a unique, hearty soup!
  • All the Chicken Cordon Bleu flavors you love!
  • Great way to use for extra cooked leftover chicken!

Ingredient Notes

  • Ham - You can use diced ham cubes or leftover ham from the holidays.
  • Chicken Broth -  For a good chicken broth, use a chicken base instead of bouillon granules. The granules have a weak flavor that weakens the older it is. I recommend using a Better Than Bouillon chicken base to make your broth. This is the brand I use myself.
  • Butter - You can use unsalted butter or salted butter. You could use olive oil in place of the butter if you need it.
  • Chicken - Use fairly plainly seasoned leftover chicken. Whole chickens, rotisserie chicken, a plain chicken breast...
  • Milk - Whole milk and 2% milk work great! You can use half milk and half cream for a thicker soup.
Everything you'll need.

Step by Step Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter to a sizzle.
  • Add the minced garlic clove, onions, carrots and mushrooms.
  • Sautรฉ them lightly.
  • Add the flour and stir well.
Lightly sautรฉ' the garlic, onions, carrots and mushrooms in butter then stir in flour.
Start this good soup in a large pot!
  • Add the broth a little at a time stirring in between each addition until it's all added.
  • Add the Dijon mustard.
  • Add the shredded Swiss cheese and stir well.
  • Once the cheese is melted, add the ham cubes.
Add broth, Dijon mustard, shredded swiss and ham cubes.
Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, swiss cheese, and ham to the soup pot!
  • Add the cooked, chopped chicken.
  • Turn your stovetop heat down to a low heat.
  • When the chicken and ham are heated through, add warmed milk to the soup.
  • After this point, don't allow the soup to simmer again to avoid breaking the milk and causing the soup to be grainy.
  • Serve with a loaf of crusty bread!
Adding of chicken and milk.
Finish off this soup with tender chicken and warm milk!
