Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
Seasonings
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the chopped onions. Sauté the onions for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, then add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly in the pot.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream along with fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Taste Test: Sample the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra fresh thyme or cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your cozy, creamy mushroom chicken soup.
Notes
- You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to reduce richness.
- Use low-sodium broth to better control the salt content.
- Fresh thyme adds the best flavor, but dried thyme is a fine substitute.
- This soup stores well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For a thicker consistency, add a slurry of cornstarch and water during the simmering step.
