Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (any variety)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Then add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they're golden and tender.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute, making sure not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, allowing it to warm through for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy it hot.

Notes

This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a simple salad. Try a grilled cheese sandwich for a perfect pairing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
