🍲 How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup

1️⃣ Sauté the Base

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

2️⃣ Cook the Mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden and tender.

3️⃣ Make It Creamy

Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring to avoid lumps.

4️⃣ Simmer

Add thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

5️⃣ Finish with Chicken & Cream

Stir in shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy cream. Simmer 5 more minutes until heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and optional Parmesan or lemon juice.
