Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1 cup cooked ham (diced)
  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the shredded chicken and diced ham, stirring to combine. Pour in the half-and-half and add Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  6. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes, then reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
  • You can substitute Gruyère for Swiss cheese for a bolder flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a green salad for a comforting meal.
