Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup begins to thicken slightly.
Add the shredded chicken and diced ham to the pot, stirring to combine.
Slowly stir in the shredded Swiss cheese, a handful at a time, allowing it to melt completely before adding more. Stir until the soup is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
