Name: Kentucky Hot Brown Soup
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 4 cups chicken broth; 2 cups milk; 2 cups shredded cooked turkey; 1 cup diced cooked bacon; 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese; 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; Salt and pepper to taste; Sliced bread (for croutons)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for a few minutes until it turns a light golden color, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the shredded turkey, diced bacon, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Let the soup simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cheeses are fully melted and the flavors have melded together.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the croutons by toasting slices of bread until golden and crispy, then cutting them into bite-sized cubes.
Once the soup is ready, serve hot in bowls and garnish each serving with a handful of homemade croutons on top for added crunch and texture.
