Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Mushrooms

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 ounces fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Fats

  • 4 cups chicken broth (preferably homemade or low sodium)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by shredding your rotisserie chicken and slicing fresh mushrooms evenly. Finely chop onions and mince garlic to create a flavorful base.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Then add mushrooms, sautéing until golden brown and their liquid evaporates, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and mushrooms to soften further.
  4. Incorporate Chicken and Cream: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy cream. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer until everything is heated through and the soup is creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil to prevent curdling.
  5. Season and Serve: Add salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or parsley to taste. Give the soup a final stir, then serve warm, garnished as desired with additional herbs, a drizzle of truffle oil, or crispy fried shallots.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm mushrooms for best flavor and texture; avoid frozen as they may be watery.
  • Browning mushrooms and aromatics intensifies the soup’s taste significantly.
  • Simmer gently after adding cream to prevent curdling and ensure a silky finish.
  • Adjust creaminess by varying heavy cream amount or substituting half with milk.
  • Use homemade or low-sodium chicken broth to enhance flavor without overpowering.
