Creamy Chicken Mushroom Soup
A generous amount of mushrooms and fresh herbs give this soup richness and freshness. Cream cheese creates a velvety texture without the risk of curdling you'd have from milk. For even more complex flavors, feel free to riff on the basic recipe by substituting your favorite in-season wild mushrooms for some of the regular ones. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Stephanie Spencer.

ByIngredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Cut the onion, carrots, and celery into 1/4-inch dice. Set aside in a medium bowl. Slice the mushrooms, finely chop the thyme and rosemary, and set them aside in another bowl.
- Step 2
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook until meat is golden on the underside and releases easily from the pan, 4-7 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on second side, 2-4 minutes (it's OK if the chicken isn't completely cooked through). Transfer to a cutting board, and set aside.
- Step 3
Add the oil, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 6-9 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Step 4
Stir the mushrooms, herbs, and wine into the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook to until mushrooms soften and release their liquid, 5-7 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, 4-5 minutes.
- Step 5
Add the flour and cook until lightly toasted and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth.
- Step 6
Whisk in the cream cheese. Slowly whisk in the remaining broth. Chop the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces, and stir into the soup.
- Step 7
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thicker, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the parsley and stir half into the soup.
- Step 8
Season soup to taste with salt. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with remaining chopped parsley, and add a parsley sprig to each serving.
