Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups)
  2. 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 8 oz mushrooms (sliced, button, cremini, or your choice)
  6. 2 carrots, chopped
  7. 2 celery stalks, chopped
  8. 6 cups chicken broth
  9. 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  10. 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme)
  11. 1 bay leaf
  12. Salt and black pepper to taste
  13. Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Cook the mushrooms and vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly browned. Stir in chopped carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

  • Build the soup base: Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

  • Add the chicken and cream: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Pour in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  • Finish and serve: Remove the bay leaf. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of white wine while sautéing the mushrooms.
  • For a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water).
