Ingredients

  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken, skin removed, shredded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or white button), sliced
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4–6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup heavy cream or half‑and‑half (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and carrots and sauté for about 5‑7 minutes until soft.
  2. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook an additional 5‑6 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the shredded rotisserie chicken, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook 10‑15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  4. If using, stir in the heavy cream or half‑and‑half. Adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf.
  5. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread, if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the vegetables or stir in a cornstarch slurry. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  • Vegetarian option: skip the chicken, use vegetable broth, add beans or extra mushrooms instead.
  • To deepen flavor, after sautéing mushrooms you can deglaze the pot with a splash of white wine before adding broth.
  • If planning to freeze, skip adding the cream until reheating to avoid separation. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
