Serves: 6
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Sauté the base:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. - Add the mushrooms:
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 7–10 minutes, until they release their liquid and begin to turn golden. - Build the soup:
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the shredded chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat, and let cook for about 10 minutes so the flavors come together. - Make it creamy:
Stir in the cream or coconut milk and gently warm through. Avoid boiling. - Serve and enjoy:
Spoon the soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
This soup works wonderfully as a light lunch or a comforting dinner. You can also customize it by adding vegetables like carrots or celery for extra nutrition. Give it a try and enjoy every spoonful!
