Chicken Mushroom Soup

When I’m in the mood for a light, yet power-packed meal, I simmer up satisfying bowls of my warm, creamy chicken mushroom soup recipe. This dinner-time hero is loaded with tender chicken and earthy mushrooms, all nestled in a savory, umami-packed broth that happens to be lean. I feel good about serving it to my family, and they feel good about slurping it down!

To me, mushrooms are the purest flavor of fall, and I’m obsessed with the intense rustic depth they give any dish. This chicken mushroom soup is no exception. It’s luxuriously creamy, robust, and packed with hearty mushrooms and tender chicken that keep you feeling full and satisfied. This is one of those nourishing recipes I keep on rotation when I want to feel good, because it’s nutritious and so incredibly easy to make.
