Ingredients in Chicken Mushroom Soup
SOUP BASE The key to a flavorful soup starts with the soup base. Use boxed chicken broth or make your own Chicken Broth and or boil a whole chicken. Add in some simple seasonings; a dash of poultry seasoning is my secret to making soups taste like they’ve been simmering all day long. CHICKEN Raw chicken breasts are simmered right in the seasoned broth and then shredded. Not only does this make the soup extra easy, the chicken juices flavor the broth. Fresh or frozen breasts can be used and they should be left whole so they don’t dry out. VEGETABLES White or brown mushrooms, crimini, baby portobellos, or sliced portobellos will give chicken mushroom soup its savory flavor! Sauteed onions, carrots, and celery help develop the rest of the flavors (this is called a ‘mirepoix’). After that, any combination of veggies will do! Peas, broccoli florets, green beans, and even corn are all colorful and delicious choices. RICE White rice goes with everything! Brown rice, small macaroni pasta, or barley add extra texture to chicken mushroom soup but take longer to cook.
