Slow-Cooker Cordon Bleu Soup image

I've taken this creamy slow-cooker soup to potlucks and teacher luncheons, and I bring home an empty crock every time. When my son's school recently created a cookbook, this was the first recipe he asked me to submit, and his teachers were glad he did. -Erica Winkel, Ada, Michigan

Serve with croutons., Freeze option: Before adding croutons, freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. Freeze croutons separately. To use, partially thaw soup in refrigerator overnight.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I will add some more broth next time.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time. Otherwise, it was a good soup.

This soup was a hit with my family! The chicken, ham, and cheese were all cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and creamy. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
