For the Soup Base
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken Provides protein and rich flavor; great for using leftovers.
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (button or cremini) Adds earthiness and depth.

For Flavor Enhancements
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or dried thyme) Introduces herby notes.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for personalized seasoning.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by shredding the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. Next, slice your fresh mushrooms, chop the onion finely, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Then, add the chopped onion and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, and sprinkle in the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy cream, gently heating for an additional 5 minutes without letting it boil.
  5. Taste for seasoning, ladle the soup into warm bowls, and serve immediately.
