Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook for 6-7 minutes until mushrooms release their juices and start to brown.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 pound cut chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 5 cups chicken bone broth and add 3 fresh thyme sprigs. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Remove thyme sprigs. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Heat for 3 more minutes until soup is creamy and hot.
  6. Step 6: Ladle into bowls and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for a bright finish.
