A rich and comforting soup with tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy broth, perfect for chilly fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
  4. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and golden.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  7. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
  9. Add the shredded chicken and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  10. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

[‘Don’t wash mushrooms under water; instead, wipe them with a damp cloth to prevent sogginess.’, ‘If your soup isn’t thick enough, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it in while simmering.’, ‘Use fresh thyme instead of dried for a more aromatic finish.’, ‘Be careful not to boil the soup after adding cream—it can separate.’, ‘Shred the chicken while the mushrooms are cooking to save time.’]
