- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onions. Sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are golden brown (5-7 minutes).
- Pour in vegetable broth and add shredded rotisserie chicken. Mix gently to combine.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when cooking the mushrooms. You can use any leftover cooked chicken or even turkey. If you want a thicker soup, add a little cornstarch mixed with water during the simmering process.
