Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (preferably seasoned)
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional for thickening)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms, dice the onion, and mince the garlic. Shred freshly cooked rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and mushrooms to help thicken the soup. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually stir in the chicken broth until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded rotisserie chicken for the best flavor.
- Feel free to add a splash of white wine or sherry during sautéing for added depth.
- Adjust the amount of cream for desired richness; coconut milk can be a dairy-free alternative.
- Thicken further with additional flour or by blending part of the soup.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour.
