Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
2 cups sliced cremini or baby bella mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and diced onions. Sauté for about 8 minutes until softened and the mushrooms release their moisture.
2. Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for another minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir continuously to cook out the raw taste.
3. Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Shred rotisserie chicken and add to the soup. Let simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
5. Reduce heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or cracked black pepper if desired.
Notes
Let the soup cool fully before storing in the fridge.
Use low-sodium broth if your rotisserie chicken is already seasoned.
Cream can be replaced with half-and-half or coconut milk for a lighter or dairy-free version.
