Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup minced yellow onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms, cooking for 5 minutes until mushrooms brown and release their moisture.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb diced chicken breast to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 6 cups chicken bone broth, add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3 cups chopped fresh spinach and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Simmer for another 3 minutes until spinach wilts and soup is heated through. Serve immediately.
