Ingredients for the Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup

Rotisserie Chicken
Tender, pre-cooked chicken adds instant flavor and makes this soup ultra-easy.

Mushrooms
These bring umami and depth. Sautéed until golden, they’re the soul of the soup.

Garlic & Onion
Essential aromatics that provide the savory base.

Chicken Broth
This forms the flavorful backbone of the soup. Opt for low-sodium to better control salt.

Heavy Cream
For that lush, velvety finish that transforms broth into a creamy comfort.

Butter & Olive Oil
Used for sautéing and enriching the overall mouthfeel.

Fresh Parsley
Brightens up each spoonful with color and freshness.

Salt, Pepper, Italian Seasoning
Balance and enhance all the core flavors.

How To Make the Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add the Mushrooms

Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and their moisture has evaporated. This step builds the umami foundation.

Step 3: Stir in the Chicken

Shred the rotisserie chicken and stir it into the pot, coating it with the aromatic mushroom mixture.

Step 4: Pour in the Broth

Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let everything meld together for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Add the Cream

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup is luxuriously creamy.

Step 6: Season and Garnish

Taste and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Serving and Storing Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup

This soup is a dream served with crusty bread or a simple green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat to maintain its creamy texture. It also freezes well for up to 2 months—just skip the cream until ready to serve if freezing.

What to Serve With Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup?
