Creamy Chicken Mushroom Soup with Garlic and Onion

Creamy and heart-healthy chicken mushroom soup with garlic and onion flavor, this is the soup for comforting and warming when the weather is down too.

Ingredients are quite simple, just chicken, mushroom, and a few herbs that available in most kitchen. For those who want dairy-free, replace heavy cream with coconut cream or just skip them and add a few extra spoons of flour. Sure, it’s a bit less creamy, but the thick texture should be fine.

For those who don’t want to use flour, try gelatin as the thickening agent, or use ground cauliflower. Also, adding some good sherry at the end will enhance the taste a lot, so find the best one you could have.

Now, some broth’s brands might contain a different amount of salt and all. The same thing for butter, so adjust seasoning salt and pepper to your taste bud. Go light on the salt every time, and add more at the very final step.
