Soup 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, allowing the onions to soften and develop sweetness.
- Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated, intensifying their flavor.
- Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly in the pot.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Reduce heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors and thicken slightly.
- Taste Test: Sample the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed to achieve your desired flavor.
- Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with extra thyme or cracked black pepper if desired for an appealing presentation and enhanced aroma.
Notes
- Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version of the soup.
- Fresh thyme can be substituted with dried thyme; use half the quantity.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken is perfect for this recipe, saving time on cooking.
- For a thicker soup, simmer longer or add a slurry of flour and water before adding the cream.
- Vegetable broth can be replaced with chicken broth for a richer, more savory flavor.
