A comforting and creamy rotisserie chicken mushroom soup that combines tender shredded chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and aromatic herbs in a rich vegetable broth base. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or a cozy lunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped onions. Cook until the onions become translucent and soft, which should take about 3-4 minutes. This step builds the flavorful base for your soup.
  2. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, enhancing their natural umami flavor.
  3. Stir In Broth and Chicken: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Gently mix everything together to combine the flavors without breaking up the chicken too much.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Lower the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream along with fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 10 minutes for the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.
  5. Taste Test: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or thyme to your preference.
  6. Serve Up Your Creation: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh thyme or freshly cracked black pepper if desired. Serve hot for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, though the soup will be less rich.
  • Chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth for a deeper meaty flavor.
  • Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or rosemary to customize the flavor.
  • This soup keeps well for up to 3 days refrigerated and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the broth and all seasonings are gluten-free certified.
