Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

[heart_this] · Mar 11, 2019 · 8 Comments

Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

All of the amazing flavours of chicken cordon bleu in a downright comforting bowl of chicken soup!

Chicken cordon bleu is a dish where chicken is stuffed with ham and melted cheese, coated in breadcrumbs and fried or baked until golden brown and crispy and I was thinking that it’s flavours would make for one tasty soup! Given that there was going to be ham in the soup I couldn’t think of a good reason to not start things off with bacon which is cooked in the pan before setting it aside to use the leftover grease to cook the veggies. Speaking of veggies, I like to go with the classic chicken noodle soup veggie combo of onions, carrots, and celery followed by garlic! Next up if some flour to thicken the soup followed by chicken broth and the chicken and ham and plenty of swiss cheese. (I like to use rotisserie chicken to keep things nice and easy.) The broth is seasoned with dijon mustard, miso paste and a hit of lemon juice and fresh parsley to add some brightness. Ever since I first made this chicken cordon bleu soup it has been my favourite and I have been making it a lot these days!
