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 weak flavor that weakens the older it is. I recommend using 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.
  • 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 half cream for a thicker soup.
Everything you'll need

Step by Step Instructions

  • Add the minced garlic clove, onions, carrots and mushrooms.
