Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden and tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and raise the heat slightly to bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in dried thyme, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded rotisserie chicken and cook for about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and gently stir in heavy cream into the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
  4. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish, and serve with crusty bread or a crisp salad.
