Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or chestnut)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 stick celery, diced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup cream or milk (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tbsp flour (optional for thickening)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté onions, garlic, and vegetables

Cook until softened to form a rich flavour base.

Step 2: Add mushrooms and cook until golden

This helps release their moisture and deepen their flavour.

Step 3: Stir in flour if you want a thicker soup

Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste.

Step 4: Pour in chicken stock and simmer

Let the flavours blend for a comforting broth.

Step 5: Add shredded chicken and herbs

Warm the chicken through and season well.

Step 6: Add cream if making a creamy version

Stir gently to create a silky texture.

Step 7: Simmer for a few minutes and serve

Finish with fresh herbs for brightness.
