Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves
  • 500 grams (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups chopped spinach

Herbs and Spices

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Proteins and Liquids

  • 1 shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 splash olive oil or a knob of butter for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Begin by heating a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot with the onions and celery. Cook until mushrooms turn golden brown, stirring often for even cooking, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the fresh thyme and crushed garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Simmer with Stock and Cream: Pour in the broth and cream. Stir well, bring the soup to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Add Chicken and Spinach: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Season and Serve: Add a pinch of chili flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Give the soup one last stir and serve hot, garnished with extra thyme if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Use vegetable broth to make this recipe vegetarian; replace chicken with extra mushrooms or tofu.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust chili flakes based on your heat preference.
  • For a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the chicken and spinach.
