Perfect for chilly evenings or quick weeknight dinners, this soup comes together in under an hour and is packed with flavor and nourishment.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6–8 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Optional: Sprinkle in flour and stir well for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw taste, helping thicken the soup.
  • Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps if using flour.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15–20 minutes until veggies are tender.
  • Add shredded rotisserie chicken and cream (if using), and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and crusty bread on the side.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, skip the cream and flour for a brothy soup.
  • Add cooked rice or egg noodles to make it heartier.
  • Great for using leftover rotisserie chicken or turkey.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
