Soup season is in full swing in my house and I have so many delicious soups that are so easy! This one features mushrooms and is full of flavor. I used a variety of mushrooms to really draw out the taste. This soup is thick, rich and hearty – think of cream of mushroom but thicker and way more delicious. This recipe could also be 100% vegetarian if you omit the chicken and also swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock instead. For convenience, I used a rotisserie chicken but you could also cook chicken breast or thigh in the soup while it cooks.
- 3 Shallots, Diced
- 8oz Crimini Mushrooms, Quartered
- 8oz White Mushrooms, Quartered
- 4oz Chanterelle Mushrooms, Quartered
- 3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Rosemary
- 1/2 Tbsp Basil
- 1/2 Tbsp Oregano
- 1 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Cup Whole Milk or Heavy Cream
- 3 Cups Rotisserie Chicken
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt + Pepper
- 3/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
- Optional: Breadcrumbs
To Make:
- In a large dutch oven or pot, heat over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shallot and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add in 1 tbsp of the minced garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Next, add in all the mushrooms and generously season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes until the mushrooms start to soften, stirring frequently.
- Add in the remaining garlic, thyme, rosemary, basil and oregano and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
- Remove 1 cup of the mushrooms and transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the chicken broth and milk to the pot and puree together using an immersion blender until smooth. *You can also use a food processor or blender if you don’t have an immersion blender.* *Also, this mushroom soup will be on the thicker side, if you want a thinner soup, add more chicken broth.*
- Once the soup is blended, add in 1/2 cup of the parmesan, the rotisserie chicken and the mushrooms set aside earlier. Stir to combine and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
- Divide between bowls and top with the remaining parmesan and croutons if using and enjoy!
