Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 500 g (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 3 cups spinach, chopped
  • Pinch of chili flakes

Protein

  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded

Liquids and Dairy

  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup cream

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, to taste (optional)
  • Olive oil or butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and finely chopped celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Cook mushrooms: Add the thinly sliced mushrooms to the pot and continue cooking until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, around 7-10 minutes.
  4. Add herbs and garlic: Stir in the fresh thyme and crushed garlic cloves, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
  5. Simmer the soup: Pour in the chicken stock and cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add chicken and spinach: After simmering for 5 minutes, add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach. Cook for another 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and chicken is heated through.
  7. Season: Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if desired to brighten the flavors.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with your choice of bread.

Notes

  • Use any cooked chicken if rotisserie is unavailable, such as leftover roast or poached chicken.
  • For a lighter version, substitute cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving to enhance the flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal.
  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
