Units
Scale
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 500 g (1 lb) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup cream
- 3 cups spinach, chopped
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon juice, to taste
- Olive oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables:
Heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and chopped celery, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. - Cook the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are golden brown and any liquid they release has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. - Add Garlic and Thyme:
Stir in the garlic and fresh thyme, and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. - Simmer the Soup:
Pour in the chicken stock and cream, stirring to combine. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes. - Add Chicken and Spinach:
Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped spinach, and continue simmering for another 5 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and the spinach is wilted. - Season:
Season the soup with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Adjust the flavor with lemon juice to taste. - Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or your preferred choice of bread.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock if available.
- You can substitute half-and-half or milk for the cream for a lighter version.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
