Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh bread or croutons for serving
Instructions
Start by melting the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, ensuring it becomes fragrant.
Add both the cremini and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to become tender and brown. This step enhances their earthy flavor, providing a solid base for the soup.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to coat them. Let the flour cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste. This step helps thicken the soup, giving it a creamy texture.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Once the broth is added, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream, shredded rotisserie chicken, dried thyme, and nutmeg (if using). Let the soup simmer for another 5-8 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
