Instructions
-
Prepare the vegetables: Chop the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Slice the mushrooms and shred the rotisserie chicken.
-
Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
-
Add garlic and herbs: Stir in garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Cook the mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing them to release moisture and become tender.
-
Thicken the soup: Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
-
Add broth and chicken: Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and bring the soup to a simmer.
-
Simmer and finish: Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add milk or cream and season with salt and pepper.
-
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with parsley, and enjoy.
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Replace rotisserie chicken with beans (chickpeas or white beans) for a vegetarian version.
Mushroom Variations: Experiment with shiitake, portobello, or oyster mushrooms for different textures.
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy twist.
Creamier Texture: Use heavy cream instead of milk, or blend part of the soup for a smooth, creamy texture.
Herb Variations: Try sage, basil, or dill for alternative flavor profiles.
