Rotisserie chicken mushroom soup is a comforting and flavorful dish. It combines the rich taste of rotisserie chicken with the earthiness of mushrooms. The creamy broth is both satisfying and nourishing.
Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the mushrooms and chop the onion, garlic, and carrots.
Cook the Aromatics:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and become tender.
Add the Broth and Vegetables:
Stir in the chopped carrots and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Make the Soup Creamy:
Stir in the heavy cream and milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can whisk in the flour at this point. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the Chicken and Seasonings:
Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Serve and Garnish:
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you prefer a more pronounced mushroom flavor, add more mushrooms. If you want the soup to be even creamier, substitute half-and-half or use more cream.
