Italian Chicken and Fontina Soup image

Creamy, cheesy, Italian-y. Poaching the chicken breasts is easy, but any method of cooking is fine, including using leftovers! Serve hot, sprinkled with extra cheese if desired. So good with garlic bread.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
½ cup milk
1 ½ cups grated fontina cheese

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Cut into chunks.
  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, shallot, and garlic; cook and stir until translucent and soft, but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour until combined.
  • Pour chicken broth into the Dutch oven. Add rosemary sprigs. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Discard rosemary sprigs.
  • Whisk milk into the Dutch oven. Add fontina cheese in batches, whisking until each batch is melted. Stir in chicken chunks.

I'm not a big fan of chicken soup, but this recipe is amazing. The fontina cheese and sun-dried tomatoes add a really nice flavor.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less chicken broth. Otherwise, it was a good soup.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the fontina cheese melted perfectly. I served the soup with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect comfort food.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the chicken was a little dry. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more vegetables or spices.
