  • 1 small onion diced: Adds depth and sweetness to the dish.
  • 2 garlic cloves minced: Enhances the overall flavor with its aromatic qualities.
  • 3 cups chicken broth: The foundation of the soup adding richness. Opt for low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded: The main protein source, ensuring a hearty soup. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 1 cup cooked turkey diced: Replacing the traditional ham, turkey provides a similar savory flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream: For a rich creamy texture that elevates the soup.
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese: The classic cheese paired with Chicken Cordon Bleu contributing to the creamy consistency.
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard: Adds a tangy depth to the flavor of the soup.
  • ½ tsp dried thyme: An aromatic herb that complements the chicken and cream perfectly.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning and enhancing the flavors of the soup.
