Ingredients

3 tbsp unsalted butter or oil

1 small yellow onion, diced

8 oz cremini, baby bella, or white button mushrooms (or a mix!), diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbsp flour (or flour substitute)

4 ½ cups chicken or turkey broth

¾ cup heavy cream or milk

3 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)

1 ½ tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

¾ tsp coarse sea salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

3 cups cooked, shredded chicken

Directions

Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat.

Add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic, and cook until slightly browned (about 4-5 minutes).

Sprinkle the flour into the pot and whisk until absorbed into the mushroom mixture.

Slowly pour in the broth, whisking as you go, to avoid any lumps.

Add cream/milk, mustard, lemon juice, thyme, salt, pepper, and chicken. Stir soup.

Heat until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
