Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

8 ounces (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.

    Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.

      Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken breast to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

        Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.

          Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits stuck to it.

            Add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

              Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

                If desired, add lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

                  Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
