Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

Try this creamy, chicken cordon bleu soup when you want something cheesy and oh-so-easy! Chicken cordon bleu soup is fancy enough for a potluck but simple enough to cook from scratch in the slow cooker. Just set it and forget it!

This soup takes all the flavors of a classic chicken cordon bleu and combined them into a hearty and rich soup! For a lower carb version, feel free to substitute the potato with cauliflower.

What Is Chicken Cordon Bleu?

Cordon bleu is typically a dish made from meat that is wrapped around cheese and baked, deep-fried, or even grilled. Also called a ‘schnitzel (meat thinly sliced and fried), chicken cordon bleu is a favorite at nicer restaurants everywhere.

This version, a hearty soup, can be made in two different ways depending on your time and preferences.

How To Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

Make this rich & creamy soup on the stovetop or in the slow cooker!

1. Add all ingredients to a large pot and cook until the potatoes are soft.
2. Remove two-thirds of the potato and carrot mixture (avoiding the other ingredients) and mash.
3. Return the mash mixture to the pot and add cream. Stir well and cook another 5 minutes.

Stir in shredded mozzarella until fully melted and serve hot with a slice of cheese toast.

To cook in a slow cooker, follow the stove to directions but cook on low 7 hours or on high 3 hours.

What To Serve With Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

This hearty soup is perfect on its own but is great paired with a salad or side of bread for dipping!

• Salad: Nothing goes better with a classic soup than this classic wedge salad or a crunchy cucumber tomato salad!
• Bread: Try serving with dinner rolls or homemade garlic bread. They are always a crowd-pleaser and a perfect garlicky complement to chicken cordon bleu soup.

Can You Freeze Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup?

Chicken cordon bleu soup freezes beautifully! Just make sure it is fully cooled before freezing. Ladle soup in zippered bags or place in airtight containers for individual portions and freeze up to two months. Be sure to label the containers with the date.

To reheat, pour thawed soup into a pot and heat on medium heat on the stove or reheat in the microwave.
