Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh or dried
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Then stir in the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Stir in the thyme and sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Simmer the soup for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the soup warm in bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy your hearty chicken and mushroom soup!
