Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 diced onion and 2 chopped stalks of celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they become tender and translucent.
  2. Stir in 1 pound of sliced mushrooms into the pot, cooking them for 5 to 7 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their juices.
  3. Next, sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme and 4 crushed garlic cloves, sautéing for another 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Carefully pour in 6 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, followed by 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a simmer over medium heat, which should take around 5 minutes.
  5. Once simmering, add approximately 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken and 3 cups of chopped spinach to the pot. Stir gently and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Finally, season your soup with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Notes

For a thicker soup, try blending a portion of the soup and stirring it back in for a creamier texture. Store leftovers properly for up to 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
