Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Soup
This Creamy Chicken and mushroom soup recipe is made with chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast and filled with lots of sliced mushrooms. This recipe has so much flavour as the chicken has been sautéed rather than just boiled or steamed.Sauté the onions, garlic, chicken and mushrooms in butter, then simmer to a rich broth that’ll warm you up from the inside.If you are looking for a quick soup recipe with plenty of flavour give this a try! Served with some crusty ciabatta bread or rolls its pure comfort in a bowl.Ingredients You’ll NeedChicken — I used cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts, feel free to sub with boneless skinless chicken thighs instead.Butter — Always use unsalted butter to control the level of added salt. But if you only have salted then you’ll want to cut back on the amount of salt used to season your soup.Onion — Any type of onion you have on hand is fine. Garlic — You want to use fresh chopped garlic. Mushrooms — I have used a packet of mixed mushrooms however, white mushrooms will work too.Corn Flour — Corn flour is all you need to help thicken the soup. Make a slurry with equal amounts the chicken stock and corn flour.Chicken Stock — I use a low sodium variety to control the level of added sodium.Salt — A touch of salt always brings out the flavour.Red Chilli Flakes— I have used red chilli flakes for a nice balance of heat, but feel free to use freshly ground black pepper to your taste.Cream — Helps to both create a creamy consistency and thicken the soup.Parsley or Coriander — Used to garnish, fresh chopped parsley or coriander which adds a nice fresh herb finish.
