Ingredients
Scale
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Shred the rotisserie chicken. Slice the mushrooms. Dice the onion, slice the carrots, chop the celery, and mince the garlic.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the dried thyme.
- Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot. Let everything simmer together for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the rotisserie chicken mushroom soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a creamy variation, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half near the end of cooking.
- You can add chopped spinach or kale in the final 5 minutes. Peas, corn, or green beans also work well.
- To thicken the soup, mix equal parts cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry, or blend a portion of the soup and return it to the pot.
- This soup freezes well. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers. Reheat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
