Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup
Description
Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup uses a base of diced potatoes, onions, carrots, cooked chicken, and ham sautéed then simmered with dried parsley, thyme, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. After cooking, some potatoes and carrots are mashed into the soup to create thickness and creaminess without heavy additives. Half and half cream and shredded mozzarella cheese enrich the soup and add a mild, melty texture. Black pepper seasons to taste.
The soup balances tender pieces of meat with softened vegetables and a creamy, cheesy broth. The Dijon mustard adds subtle tang that echoes traditional chicken cordon bleu flavors. The mashed vegetable addition enriches the broth with body and smoothness while leaving some chunks for mouthfeel.
This soup can be prepared on the stovetop or slow cooker, offering flexibility. It serves about twelve 1-cup portions, suitable for family meals or gatherings. Serve hot for comforting satisfaction, pairing well with crusty bread or a light salad.
