Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves
  • 500 grams (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 3 cups chopped spinach

Protein

  • 1 shredded rotisserie chicken

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cream
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Splash of lemon juice (optional)
  • Olive oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pot with the softened onions and celery. Cook until the mushrooms turn golden brown, stirring frequently for even cooking, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the fresh thyme and crushed garlic cloves. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful to avoid burning the garlic to prevent bitterness.
  4. Simmer with Stock and Cream: Pour in the broth and cream. Stir thoroughly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  5. Add Chicken and Spinach: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped fresh spinach to the pot. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness if desired. Serve the soup hot, accompanied by your favorite bread for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked chicken breast or thighs if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream with coconut cream or omit it altogether.
  • Add more broth if you prefer a thinner soup consistency.
  • Fresh thyme can be replaced with dried thyme, using about 1 teaspoon.
  • The chili flakes add a subtle heat; adjust to your preference or omit for a milder flavor.
