Ingredients

1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button mushrooms or cremini work well)

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
If you prefer a thicker soup, sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Skip this step for a thinner soup.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and milk. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as preferred.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

Substitute cooked chicken for rotisserie chicken if needed.

For a thicker soup without flour, simmer the soup longer to reduce and thicken naturally.

If using frozen mushrooms, expect them to release more liquid when cooked.

To make it dairy-free, use coconut milk, almond milk, or a dairy-free cream alternative instead of cream and milk.

Adding additional vegetables like carrots, celery, or spinach can enhance flavor and nutrition.
