Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooked pasta (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add mushrooms and onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Return chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and cooked pasta, if desired.

Notes

For a creamier soup, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream before serving. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or celery to the soup.
