Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy and Seasonings

  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fat for Cooking

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onions. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, which allows the onions to soften and develop a sweet base flavor.
  2. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the mushrooms turn golden brown and release their moisture, roughly 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Mix gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chicken is evenly distributed in the broth.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer gently for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors and warm through the cream without boiling.
  5. Taste Test: Sample the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary to suit your taste preferences.
  6. Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with extra fresh thyme or freshly cracked black pepper for added aroma and presentation before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, but leftover roasted chicken can be substituted.
  • For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk.
  • Fresh thyme is preferred for the best flavor, but dried thyme works well as a substitute.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure that the vegetable broth used does not contain gluten additives.
