CHICKEN CORDON BLEU SOUP

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet and have had it for many years. The woman who posted this said that her son worked at the Diamond Run Golf Club (I have no idea where that is) and that when he made this, he couldn't make enough of it. I have revised the recipe somewhat because the original post was for 20 servings, and had no herbs/spices listed. I have included seasonings that are ones that I have enjoyed in this easy soup.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, in small cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups whole milk (or 1 cup half and half and 1 cup water)
3 cups unsalted chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dried french tarragon leaf, pieces
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
2 scallions, white and light green parts, minced
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon mild curry powder
8 ounces swiss cheese, grated
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup diced cooked ham or 1 cup smoked ham
salt
fresh ground black pepper or tricolor pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon freshly minced basil

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium high heat, sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil until browned, about 7 to 9 minutes; remove from skillet, drain of excess oil, and set aside, keeping warm.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, heat the milk and chicken broth over medium temperature.
  • Add the tarragon (crushing it a bit in your hand, first), garlic, scallion, white pepper, and curry powder, and bring to a light simmer.
  • Add 3/4th of the Swiss cheese gradually (reserving the remaining 1/4 for garnish), stirring constantly, until well-incorporated.
  • Gradually add the white wine, then the sour cream.
  • Using an immersion blender, whir the soup until all ingredients are smoothly incorporated (soup may have a tendency to separate before this point); alternately, you can pour it all into the blender or food processor.
  • Put the soup back in the saucepan if you removed it, then add the ham, and the cooked chicken breast; season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with reserved grated Swiss cheese and basil and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Prepare all ingredients and utensils before starting to cook.
  • Use fresh, quality ingredients: This will greatly impact the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause the chicken to steam rather than brown.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to flavor the chicken.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this soup, so use a cheese that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked, to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Serve immediately: This soup is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's finished cooking.

Conclusion:

Chicken cordon bleu soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
