Step-by-Step Instructions for Rotisserie Chicken and Mushroom Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil or a knob of butter. Add chopped onion and diced celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Incorporate the sliced mushrooms into the pot. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their juices.
  3. Sprinkle in fresh thyme and add minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, followed by the cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and fresh spinach. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is tender.
  6. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to enhance the flavors. Taste and adjust as needed before serving.
