Welcome all! Papa G here. Today I present a low carbohydrate twist on a French Classic. My Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup. This is a great low carbohydrate one pot recipe, as it matches the flavor of the traditional recipe all wrapped up into a nice warm bowl. It's also perfect for meal prepping as well. Let's get started. For this recipe, we'll be using 8 ounces of Swiss cheese that we'll shred; some precooked chicken; and some diced ham. To a stock pot on medium high heat, add two tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the diced ham and stir and cook until the ham starts to brown a bit. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Add some heavy cream and give a stir. Next, add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. You'll want to mix until the cream cheese is fully melted. Add the chicken and give a mix to incorporate. Pour in four cups of chicken stock give that a mix to blend. We'll season our soup with some poultry seasoning; salt; ground black pepper; and just a bit of cayenne.
Mix until well blended. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes to allow all the flavors to come together. After it's cooked a bit, give a taste and adjust for seasoning. Now add the shredded Swiss cheese - half at a time. Adding the cheese this way will give us a smoother texture. Once the cheese is fully melted, give a final stir and serve warm. Garnish with a little extra cheese; some dry chives... and enjoy! There you have it folks! My Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup. A great tasting soup to add to any low carbohydrate menu.
