by HollyChicken Cordon Bleu Soup! This rich & creamy soup can be made on the stovetop or in the slow cooker!
I love Cordon Bleu! Chicken with ham and a creamy swiss filling.. usually breaded and topped with a sauce containing dijon!
This recipe captures all of those flavors in a rich and cheesy soup that warms you from the inside out. The best part is that this dish can easily be made quickly on the stove top or it can simmer all day in the slow cooker while you’re at work!

I found a recipe on Pinterest called Cheeseburger Soup.I made the cheesebuger soup and it turned out great and looked exacted like the picture! I read some of the comments on here and looked at the recipe then compared it to the cheeseburger soup. I’m going to tweek this recipe and make it my own, as I so often do with recipes. But it looks delicious!
All the recipes look amazing but sad that none have the nutrition facts stated.

I love chicken cordon bleu and I was really excited to find this recipe on Pinterest. For us, it was just okay. I feel like mashing 2-3 cups was not near enough to yield the pictured consistency. There was more broth and less thickness. Plus, I felt like it really needed more Dijon mustard. I added some to my individual portions and greatly enjoyed it. Lastly, the Swiss cheese melted very inconsistently – not creamy at all. Maybe that was an issue with buying the generic brand cheese; but the cost of ingredients adds up quickly in this dish. Overall, it was a good soup, but not one I’d make again.

does this freeze well? Sounds delicious!!
Thanks for sharing ;)
I haven’t tried freezing it so I can’t say for sure.
The cheese MAY not freeze well. Sometimes it will separate and curdle. Reheating doesn’t fix this but it doesn’t affect the taste, just the texture.
