Cubano Soup

Tonight we are having this soup.   

Rob will be gone a few night this week so I'm off the hook!!!!

In large pot over medium-high heat, melt

2 Tbsp butter

Add

1 Tbsp mustard

2 Tbsp flour

Whisk well to combine

Add

2 c chicken stock

1  1/2 c. half and half   (i'm using fat free)  

Bring to simmer

Reduce to low and add:   

1/4 lb Swiss cheese, shredded

1/4 lb cheddar cheese, shredded

Which until mixture is smooth and creamy

Stir in: 

1  1/2 c. diced ham

and continue cooking until ham is warmed through

Season with salt & pepper

Ladle into serving bowls

Tip with minced dill pickle 

(The recipe calls for making croutons by cutting up a sub roll and tossing with 1 Tbsp canola oil and baking them in a cast iron skillet until they are crisp and brown.    I will omit this step)   

Recipe came from a magazine I got in the mail from Kroger Grocery Store!!!    

Fingers crossed that it's good!!!
