(This is an old recipe with a new picture). Want the yummy ham and Swiss cheese dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu without all the work?  Try making it into a soup!  Better yet, a slow cooker soup.  This is comforting and flavorful, thanks to the ham.  My kids loved the little cubes of ham and of course the cheese on top.  If you want to beef this up a bit add in some cubed red potatoes (they’ll cook perfectly by the time the chicken is done…Russett take longer).

    This was great!! I tweaked it just a bit, but it's a new family favorite and was perfect on this football-watching, cloudy, house-cleaning sort of Saturday!

    Do we add the chicken whole and shred it at the end of cooking?

    We made your tomato basil Parmesan soup last night and we liked it. I puréed the veggies and tomatoes before adding the roux…I knew the kids wouldn't like too many chunks! Lol and I added a little tomato powder at the end. Thanks for the fun new recipe! I linked you up on my menu for the month on my blog…hope that is ok! http://Www.stacey-scraps.blogspot.com

    maybe add the cheese into the soup to let it melt and make a creamy texture, or add some sour cream or cream cheese.
