Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Vegetables

  • 8 oz sliced cremini or button mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk

Fats & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by shredding the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces and slicing your mushrooms thinly. Mince the garlic and chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and full flavor release.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Then, toss in the mushrooms, allowing them to brown and release their juices, which deepens the flavor profile.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine all the sautéed ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to let the flavors meld beautifully. This step is where the soup starts to develop that comforting warmth.
  4. Stir in Chicken and Cream: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot, warming it through in the simmering broth. Slowly pour in the heavy cream (or milk) while stirring to create a silky, creamy texture that makes this soup so inviting.
  5. Season and Finish with Herbs: Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to blend all flavors perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old rotisserie chicken for easier shredding and better flavor absorption.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; sauté mushrooms in batches if necessary to achieve good caramelization.
  • Add cream gradually to adjust creaminess according to preference.
  • Add fresh herbs toward the end to preserve their vibrant taste and color.
  • For thicker soup, stir in a slurry of cornstarch and water before simmering.
