Ingredients
1 onion, diced
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tsp fresh thyme
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
6 cups stock (chicken or vegetable)
1 cup cream
3 cups spinach, chopped
Pinch of chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Pot: Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and chopped celery. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown and their moisture is released, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Aromatics: Add fresh thyme and crushed garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Simmer the Soup: Pour in the stock and cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add Chicken and Spinach: Add shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach. Simmer for another 5 minutes, until spinach is wilted and chicken is heated through.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of chili flakes, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
Consistency: If the soup thickens too much after refrigerating, stir in a bit of stock or water when reheating.
Freezing: For best results, freeze the soup without spinach. Add fresh spinach when reheating.
Cream Substitute: Use coconut milk, half-and-half, or a dairy-free milk as a substitute for cream.
