Delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu Chowder

One of my favorite dishes is Chicken Cordon Bleu but I rarely have time to make it these days. So the next best thing is to turn the flavors into a soup! This soup was really easy to make and the flavors were out of this world! It turned out really thick and savory so Matt said it should really be called a chowder even though there are no potatoes. He was so insistent that I declared it a chowder even though my inner chef was screaming.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 1/2 cups half and half
2 1/2 cups milk
2 chicken bullion cubes, crushed
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups cooked & chopped chicken
1/2 cup cooked & chopped bacon
1 cup diced ham
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Green onions, to garnish

Directions:
1. In large saucepan, melt the butter then add flour to make a roux. Cook for a minute.
2. Add the half and half, milk, and crushed chicken bullion; stir to combine.
3. Cook for 3 minutes.
4. Add the cream cheese.
5. Bring to a boil while stirring continuously.
6. Add chicken, bacon, and ham.
7. Remove from heat & stir in cheese.
8. Turn heat to low and stir until cheese in melted.
9. Garnish with green onions and bacon.

Doesn’t that look delicious? It was so creamy and so full of flavor. The kids loved it and Matt…well, Matt loves anything with triple the meat in it. Carnivores. I cannot wait to make this again! I might try it as a crockpot soup next time!
