Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups cooked chicken)
  • 1 lb sliced mushrooms (cremini or baby bella preferred)
  • 1 diced onion (yellow or white)
  • 2 chopped celery stalks
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves (freshly crushed)
  • 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 pinch chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (for brightness)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and chopped celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until mushrooms turn golden brown and release their moisture.
  3. Add fresh thyme and crushed garlic. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant. Don’t let garlic burn.
  4. Pour in 6 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach. Simmer for 5 minutes until spinach wilts and chicken heats through.
  6. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice for brightness. Serve hot in warm bowls.

Notes

  • Use cremini or baby bella mushrooms for best flavor. Wipe with damp paper towel instead of washing.
  • Rotisserie chicken is often pre-salted, so taste before adding extra salt.
  • For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
  • Soup stays fresh in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on stovetop.
