Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onions. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to develop a flavorful base.
- Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients evenly in the pot.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Reduce the heat slightly and stir in heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Taste Test: Sample the soup and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary to balance the flavors.
- Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with additional fresh thyme or cracked pepper as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- You can vary the mushrooms by using shiitake or portobello for different flavors.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer for a few extra minutes uncovered.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
