Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum, optional for extra thickness
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken:
Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. - Cook the mushrooms:
Heat butter and olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and begin to brown. - Add the garlic and seasoning:
Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, parsley, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. - Add the broth:
Pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes. - Make it creamy:
Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and whisk or stir until completely melted and smooth. - Add chicken and cream:
Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes. Do not let the soup boil rapidly. - Thicken if desired:
If you prefer a thicker soup, sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum while stirring continuously. Allow the soup to simmer for another 1–2 minutes. - Add Parmesan:
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. - Finish and serve:
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan. Serve hot.
