Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic & herb variety)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half (can substitute almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can use gluten-free flour)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Shred or chop cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. (10 minutes)
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 7-8 minutes. Add garlic for the last minute.
  3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the veggies. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk for 2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste and create a thick base.
  4. Slowly pour in 4 cups chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Add 4 ounces Boursin cheese in chunks, stirring gently until melted and fully blended into the broth, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Stir in 1 cup milk or half-and-half. Heat through gently without boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add shredded chicken, dried thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to meld flavors and warm chicken.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

Use low sodium broth to control saltiness. If soup is too thick, thin with broth or milk; if too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce. Rest soup 5 minutes off heat to deepen flavor. For dairy-free, substitute Boursin with dairy-free cream cheese and use plant-based milk. Avoid boiling after adding milk or cheese to prevent curdling.
