If you have some leftover chicken, please use it to make my Chicken Mushroom Cream Soup. I like creamy soups and I used to make some often when I was trying to eat healthy (if you know what I mean), creamy thick soups used to keep me full for hours!
Chicken Mushroom Cream Soup
Making this soup will not take much of your time since you are using previously cooked chicken, rest are vegetables and they are cooked and ready in minutes.
In case you are vegetarian, omit the chicken and use vegetable stock, in both cases, this soup will still taste good and even better when served with Bread.
I didn’t specify the mushroom type in the recipe, I used button mushrooms, but you can use any type available in your kitchen.
Follow me on Instagram, and if you happen to make any of my recipes, please post the picture and mention me in your post, or use this hash tag #munatycooking. I would love to see your creation.
As for my recipe, here you go!

Hey Ami, I too love mushroom soup, but since I'm crazy about my protein I had to add the chicken 🙂

Oh, this soup is right up my alley, Muna! I love thick, creamy soups...but I hate that so many of them are loaded with heavy cream. (I mean I still eat them on occasion, but I'd much rather get a thick soup that uses milk!) I totally need a bowl (or mug!) of this for lunch today. Yum!!

Hi David, I know what you mean with soups full of cream. Hope you give my version a try 🙂

This looks so delicious. My son would love this. And I definitely like creamy soups that call for a bit of milk and thickened rather than cups of cream. This is perfect for a cold winter day.

This looks tasty! I usually make chicken noodle soup with my leftover chicken, but this sounds like it would be nice change.
