Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup Base:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed), sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chicken:

  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (ensure halal if needed)

For the Creamy Soup Base:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped parsley
  • Crusty bread, for serving
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and sliced carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to release their aromas. Next, stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and their moisture is released. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and drizzle with soy sauce; stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  2. Prepare the Soup Base: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to incorporate all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Add dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper; stir and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors. In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with a few tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly add this mixture into the simmering soup while stirring continuously to thicken the broth without lumps.
  3. Make the Soup Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer the soup for 5 more minutes. This addition enriches the texture and balances the savory depth. Taste the soup and adjust salt, pepper, or herbs as needed to suit your preference.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring a good portion of vegetables, chicken, and mushrooms in each serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and color. Optionally, add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top or serve alongside crusty bread for dipping and extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time while adding rich smoky flavor to the soup.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch for thickening.
  • You can use a mix of mushrooms such as cremini, button, and shiitake for deeper flavor complexity.
  • Adjust the cream quantity or substitute with half-and-half for a lighter soup.
  • Leftover soup keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and freezes effectively for longer storage.
