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.
