Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Onion: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent, softening the onion and building a flavor base for the soup.
  2. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned, which deepens their flavor and aroma.
  3. Add Chicken and Broth: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot, followed by the chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to heat through gently, making sure it does not boil to prevent the cream from curdling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh herbs for dried if preferred, but remember to use 3 times the amount of fresh herbs.
  • For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the soup will be less rich.
  • If you like a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch slurry to the mushrooms’ cooking step to create a roux.
  • Leftover soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Use cremini or button mushrooms for best texture and flavor, but feel free to mix varieties.
