Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves
  • 500 grams (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups chopped spinach

Herbs & Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Proteins & Dairy

  • 1 shredded rotisserie chicken (about 2 cups cooked meat)
  • 1 cup cream (preferably heavy cream)

Liquids

  • 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and finely chopped celery. Cook until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pot with the onion and celery. Cook until the mushrooms turn golden brown, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the fresh thyme and crushed garlic cloves. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Simmer with Stock and Cream: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and the cream. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Add Chicken and Spinach: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach to the pot. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and the chicken to heat through.
  6. Season and Serve: Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice for brightness. Serve the soup hot with your favorite bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add rich flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute cream with half-and-half or milk, though the soup will be less rich.
  • Spinach can be swapped with kale or Swiss chard for variation.
  • Add chili flakes gradually to control the level of heat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze the soup in portions for up to 2 months, but add fresh spinach only when reheating.
