Ingredients
1 diced onion
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
4 crushed garlic cloves
500 grams (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 shredded rotisserie chicken
6 cups broth
1 cup cream
3 cups chopped spinach
Pinch of chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and chopped celery for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the crushed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and lightly brown.
- Add the fresh thyme and shredded rotisserie chicken, stirring to combine.
- Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Stir in the cream and chopped spinach. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the soup becomes creamy.
- Season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
Substitute cream with half-and-half for a lighter texture or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
Add a splash of white wine before adding the broth for extra depth of flavor.
Include diced carrots or leeks for additional vegetable flavor.
For a thicker soup, simmer longer or add a small slurry of cornstarch and water.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months, noting that texture may slightly change due to the cream.
