Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat the pot: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and warm it until hot.
  2. Sauté onion: Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms shrink and release their moisture.
  4. Add liquids and seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add spinach and chicken: Mix in the baby spinach and shredded chicken breasts, stirring until the spinach wilts and the chicken is evenly distributed.
  6. Simmer soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook gently for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth if possible.
  • Shredded chicken can be pre-cooked or leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Feel free to add garlic or herbs like thyme for additional taste variations.
  • This soup freezes well; store in airtight containers and thaw before reheating gently.
