Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
Liquids & Fats
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onions. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to develop a flavorful base for the soup.
- Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the vegetable broth and add shredded rotisserie chicken. Gently mix to combine all ingredients evenly in the pot.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Reduce the heat slightly, then stir in the heavy cream, 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 or pepper as desired to suit your taste.
- Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra fresh thyme or cracked black pepper if preferred. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, creamy comfort.
Notes
- You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream to reduce the richness slightly.
- Use any type of mushrooms you prefer, such as cremini, button, or shiitake for different flavor profiles.
- For a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of flour during the mushroom sauté step to create a light roux.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute the cream with a coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative.
