Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Diana Rattray
Serve this creamy soup for lunch or dinner with crusty rolls and a salad or sandwich or make it a first course for a larger meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 1 large rib celery, diced
  • 12 to 16 ounces sliced mushrooms, a combination of fresh mushroom varieties, if desired
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation:

In a large saucepan, heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add diced chicken, carrot, and celery; cook, stirring, until chicken is nearly cooked through. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring, until mushrooms are tender. Stir in flour until blended; add chicken broth and thyme. Bring to a simmer, stirring. Cover and reduce heat to low; cook for about 10 to 16 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste; stir in cream and heat through.
Serves 4 to 6.

Ok with milk also!January 20, 2009By hannastella
"I also loved this recipe, it was quick and simple and we enjoyed it with whole-meal bread and butter. Since I did not have all the ingredients at home I put some Bok Choy (we live in Asia!) and red cabbage instead of celery, yellow onion instead of green, and full-cream milk instead of thick cream (maybe a good idea if you are watching the calories). It turned out delicious and I will definitely make it again."
