Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix) 4 cups chicken broth 1 cup water 2 teaspoons dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried rosemary Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups shredded or chopped rotisserie chicken 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon butter Optional garnish: chopped parsley, crusty bread, freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Add garlic and carrots, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and soy sauce. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir in dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour it into the soup, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  7. Add heavy cream and the butter. Let the soup simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  9.  
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, a side of crusty bread, or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • You can swap heavy cream for half-and-half or evaporated milk for a lighter version.
  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds rich, roasted flavor.
  • This soup is meal-prep friendly—store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Stir in cooked wild rice or orzo for extra heartiness.
