Creamy and comforting rotisserie chicken mushroom soup made with earthy cremini mushrooms, tender shredded chicken, and a rich broth. Ready in 30 minutes for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened. Add extra broth if needed.
  6. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through gently for 1 to 2 minutes but do not boil.
  8. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve hot garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
  • Add a splash of white wine when cooking the mushrooms for a deeper flavor profile.
  • Freeze the soup base before adding cream for best texture when storing long term.
  • If soup becomes too thick after refrigerating, stir in a splash of chicken broth while reheating.
