Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie)

  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: ½ cup cooked rice or egg noodles

  • Garnish: chopped fresh parsley or a dash of paprika

Directions

  • Sauté veggies: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Cook mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, 6–8 minutes.
  • Make the roux: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1–2 minutes until it’s fully absorbed.
  • Add broth: Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add chicken & cream: Stir in the cooked chicken, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.
  • Add rice/noodles (optional): If using, stir in the rice or noodles and heat through.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika, and enjoy warm with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a richer soup: Use heavy cream or add a splash of white wine with the broth.
  • Make it lighter: Use milk instead of cream and skip the flour for a thinner broth.
  • Vegetarian version: Swap chicken for white beans or tofu and use vegetable broth.
  • Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently—don’t boil, or the cream may separate
