1 tablespoon olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

Directions: Rotisserie Chicken and Mushroom Soup – Creamy Comfort Food

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and mushrooms, sauté for 6-8 minutes until mushrooms are browned and fragrant.

Step 2: Build the Base

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir well, and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Make It Creamy

Reduce heat to low, then stir in milk and heavy cream.
Simmer uncovered for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.

Step 4: Add Chicken & Finish

Add shredded rotisserie chicken and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes & Tips for Rotisserie Chicken and Mushroom Soup – Creamy Comfort Food

For extra depth, try sautéing mushrooms until golden brown before adding other veggies (see tips here).
Use low-sodium chicken broth to control saltiness—always taste and adjust before serving!
