Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cream for richness or 1 tbsp lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and they release their juices, about 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in shredded rotisserie chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Simmer for 15–20 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Finish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a splash of cream or lemon juice before serving.

Notes

  • Add wild rice, noodles, or barley for a heartier soup.
  • For extra flavor, stir in soy sauce, miso paste, or simmer with a parmesan rind.
  • Swap in different herbs like rosemary or sage for variation.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
  • Freeze without cream or noodles for up to 2 months; add those after reheating.
