Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 cup diced ham

1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

1 cup heavy cream

4 cups chicken broth

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups baby spinach, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

    Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

      Add Ham and Flour: Stir in the diced ham and sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Mix well to coat the chicken and ham evenly, cooking for about 2-3 minutes.

        Pour in the Broth and Cream: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously.

          Stir in the Spinach: Once the soup is simmering, add the chopped spinach. Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and flavors to meld.

            Add Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the shredded Swiss cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup!
