2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (like thyme, optional)
In a large pot over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and begin to release their moisture, around 5-6 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes to blend the flavors.
Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously to ensure it blends well.
Season with salt, pepper, and any fresh or dried herbs you are using. Allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
