Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup
Sounds really good, This can be made on the stove top or in a slow cooker. I am looking forward to making this!
Ingredients
- 7 cups potatoes, diced, skin on or off is up to you
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and diced
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 5 cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
For Stovetop
- In a large pot, add the diced items, parsley, thyme, mustard, and chicken stock. Season with pepper to your liking. Bring this to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes, stir occasionally.
- When the potatoes are tender, take about 2 to 3 cups of potatoes out and place in a bowl, if you get some carrot, that is ok as well. Mash this then put back in the pot and stir in. To get a thicken consistency, mash another cup or two of potatoes. Add the milk and sour cream and stir in and simmer for about 5 more minutes, then stir in the cheese until melted and mixed in, serve hot.
For Slow Cooker
- In a large slow cooker, add the diced items, parsley, thyme, mustard, and chicken stock. Cook on Low setting for 7 hours or about 3 hours on High setting. The potatoes should be cooked and tender.
- Take about 2 to 3 cups of potatoes out and place in a bowl, if you get some carrot, that is ok as well. Mash this then put back in the slow cooker. To get a thicken consistency, mash another cup or two of potatoes. Stir in the milk and sour cream and cook about 5 more minutes on Low setting, then stir in the cheese until it melts and season with pepper to your liking. Serve.
Notes
For the ham, Makro has excellent cooked ham in 1 inch thick slices, 2 slices is about 2 cups diced, this would cost about 100 Baht. The chicken, use thighs or breasts or a combination and just boil with some carrot, onion, and celery and you have your stock as well. Two cups of cooked chicken is maybe 40 Baht. The Swiss cheese will run about 180 Baht for a 250 gram block. For 10 servings, this is about 94 cents per serving.
