    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, melt the better on low heat and add the diced onion. Cook onion in butter until onion is soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook for one minute.
  2. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Add the cream cheese and stir until combined. Stir in Swiss cheese until melted. Stir in the chicken and ham until heated through. Serve.

Notes

  • Better than Bouillon chicken base can be used to prepare the chicken broth for enhanced flavor.
  • Half-and-half can be substituted with a half cream and half milk mixture if preferred.
  • Using rotisserie chicken and pre-diced ham saves preparation time.
