Main Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat to prepare the base for sautéing.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking them until they are fragrant and translucent, which helps build their flavor.
- Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they become tender and release their moisture, enhancing the soup’s earthiness.
- Add chicken broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, creating a flavorful liquid base for the soup.
- Add chicken and simmer: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors meld and the chicken heats through.
- Incorporate heavy cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season and final simmer: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for an additional 10 minutes to let all flavors blend completely.
Notes
- Use a high-quality rotisserie chicken to enhance flavor and reduce cooking time.
- For a thicker soup, simmer the soup uncovered to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Optional: garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for added freshness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the soup will be less rich.
