Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms to have everything ready for cooking.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Then stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10 minutes to develop flavor.
- Add Chicken: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, ensuring it’s fully incorporated and heated through.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine. Season the soup with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Final Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer gently for another 5 minutes so all flavors meld and the soup thickens slightly.
- Serve: Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and enhanced flavor.
- For a thicker soup, simmer a little longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water before adding the cream.
- Fresh thyme can be substituted for dried thyme if preferred; use 1 tablespoon fresh.
- To make it lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but the soup will be less creamy.
- This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a light green salad for a full meal.
