Ingredients
  

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup diced smoked sausage (like kielbasa or andouille)

1 cup diced cooked ham

1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken

1 cup assorted charcuterie (such as salami, prosciutto, and pepperoni), sliced thin

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Crusty bread or crackers (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

    Add Garlic & Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

      Incorporate the Meats: Add the diced smoked sausage, cooked ham, and sliced charcuterie to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to brown slightly.

        Add Broth & Simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Creamy Finish: Stir in the heavy cream and cooked shredded chicken. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The soup should have a rich and creamy texture.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy charcuterie soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
