A creamy, comforting soup that captures the flavors of classic chicken cordon bleu with chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, and a rich broth, made easy in one pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt, more or less to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (32 oz) box chicken broth
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cups cooked and cubed chicken (about 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken, 1 pound)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cubed ham
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, cubed and softened to room temperature
  • Swiss cheese, shredded for serving
  • Homemade or store-bought croutons for serving

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring regularly, until carrots have softened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chicken, ham, and cream cheese; cook, stirring regularly, until soup is hot and cream cheese has melted.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Serve hot topped with shredded Swiss cheese and croutons.

Notes

This soup is a quick and easy one-pot meal that combines all the flavors of chicken cordon bleu without the mess. Using rotisserie chicken and leftover ham saves time. Serve with croutons or toasted bread to mimic the classic breadcrumb topping.
