Notes
To take your Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup to the next level, consider these tips:
– While button or cremini mushrooms are a great base, you can experiment with other varieties like shiitake, oyster, or even a mix of mushrooms to add depth and complexity to the soup.
– If you’re looking for a slightly lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half or even a plant-based milk alternative for the heavy cream.
– Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Mushroom Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to adjust the consistency as needed.
– To boost the nutritional value, you can add diced carrots, celery, or even kale or spinach to the soup.
