This recipe is sponsored by our friends over at FAGE. We’re using their all-natural sour cream to make this yummy, creamy chicken mushroom soup recipe. This creamy, dreamy chicken mushroom orzo soup is loaded with all the things you love about my Hungarian mushroom soup mashed together with a creamy chicken noodle. And the results are phenomenal. There’s not a whole lot of prep work involved with this recipe, and it’s so quick to make that you can have it on the table in around 30 minutes. What makes this creamy chicken mushroom soup so utterly delicious is the rich and creamy FAGE Sour Cream I’m using. You may have heard that FAGE now makes sour cream in addition to the Greek yogurt so many of us already know and love! Take it from someone that loves a spoonful of sour cream on pretty much everything, this one certainly is high-quality. But also, did you know that FAGE Sour Cream is made with simple ingredients, is Non-GMO Project Verified, and gluten-free? I almost never buy ingredients without the non-GMO verified label anymore, so this makes me incredibly happy!
What do you need to make creamy chicken mushroom soup?
butter: we’ll saute the mushrooms and mirepoix in the butter to get it all nice and softened. Butter gives the mushrooms and the soup tons of flavor.mushrooms: you can use just about any kind of mushrooms you like for this recipe. However, I usually use cremini (also known as baby bella) because they are very easy to find in most grocery storesmirepoix: mirepoix is a simple combination of chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Usually, mirepoix is sold in a 1:1:1 ratio. That’s exactly what you’ll need, so if your grocery store sells prepared mirepoix in the refrigerator section, feel free to use it for this recipe, there’s no chopping involved at all if you do!seasonings: we’re using a few different seasonings. The first is garlic powder, then we have a little dried thyme, dried mustard, and a salt-free seasoning blend that contains ingredients like dried onion, lemon peel, celery seeds, and black pepper. This just amps up the chicken broth’s flavor even more and gives it an all-day, slow-simmered flavor.all-purpose flour: the flour helps thicken the soup just a tad bit. We’re also adding dry pasta that we’ll cook in the soup, so just a sprinkling of flour helps thicken the soup to the right consistencychicken stock: You want to use good quality chicken stock for this recipe for all the other ingredients to really shine through. I suggest using something that you like the flavor of if you were to drink it on its own.cooked and shredded chicken: use a rotisserie chicken that you just shred up for a quick, 30-minute meal. You can also cook the chicken in the instant pot, give chicken thighs a good rub with oil, season with salt and pepper and let them roast in the oven, or poach them stovetop, shred, and use.dried pasta: orzo pasta is so easily available these days, so I used that for this recipe. However, any tiny shape of pasta you like will also work. You can use ditalini or even acini di pepe if you have that on hand!FAGE Sour Cream: be sure to allow the sour cream to come to room temperature before using it to make this soup. Just a half cup of FAGE Sour Cream will go into the soup. It gives the soup a delicious, velvety smooth, and indulgent flavor. half and half: a splash of half and half right at the end gives this soup a delicious flavor.
The trick to adding sour cream to soup without it curdling:
The trick to adding sour cream to a soup or sauce without it curdling is really simple. The reason that sour cream curdles is because of a difference in temperature. What usually happens is that the sour cream is cold from the refrigerator and the soup is bubbling on the stove. When adding sour cream to a sauce or soup, you just have to be mindful of two things: Following these two steps should ensure a creamy and delicious pot of soup! I hope you’ll give my creamy chicken mushroom soup recipe a try! It’s the perfect cold-weather comfort food! I love serving it with sourdough bread on the side to make it a full meal. Happy bellies all around for sure! A big thank you to our friends at FAGE for sponsoring this post!
