INGREDIENTS
 

  • 1 pound (450g) chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 pound (450g) mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Clean and slice the mushrooms, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Sear the chicken until golden on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Next sauté the mushrooms until all the moisture evaporates and they turn golden brown.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and sauté for a minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • Pour in the chicken stock gradually while stirring to create a smooth mixture.
  • Add back the chicken and dried herbs. Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove and shred the chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • Stir in heavy cream. Add the shredded chicken and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
  • Turn off the heat, add parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

NOTES

  1. If using bone-in chicken thighs, the cook time will be longer. Cook until the chicken falls off the bone.
  2. Sub heavy cream with half and half or milk for a lighter soup.
  3. Brown the mushrooms well to extract maximum flavor.
  4. Use freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese tends to make the soup grainy.
