Ingredients

For the Soup

1 Rotisserie Chicken Shredded chicken adds protein and deep flavor. Leftover roasted chicken can also be used.
8 oz Mushrooms Earthy flavor that brings umami to the dish. Use pre-sliced mushrooms for convenience.
1 Onion Provides sweetness and depth to the soup. Shallots can be a milder alternative.
3 cloves Garlic Enhances aroma and flavor significantly. Garlic powder can be a quick substitute.
4 cups Chicken Broth The savory base that makes the soup hearty. Vegetable broth works for a vegetarian option.
2 cups Heavy Cream Gives a rich, creamy texture everyone loves. Half-and-half is a lighter substitute.
2 tbsp Butter Adds richness and helps sauté the vegetables. Olive oil can be used for a lighter option.
Salt and Pepper Essential for seasoning to taste.

For Garnishing (Optional)

Fresh Parsley Adds color and freshness to the final dish. Chopped chives work too!
Grated Parmesan A delightful sprinkle that enhances flavor. Nutritional yeast can be a great dairy-free option.
